Effects of Environmental Toxicants on Immune Function in Autism
Presented by Robert Naviaux, PhD at the Fall 2012 Autism Research Institute Conference
Dr. Van de Water will discuss emerging science concerning the role of environmental toxicant exposure in immune dysregulation. Characterization of the relationship between the immune and neuronal systems and their synergy with respect to environmental exposure is key to understanding the mechanisms through which toxicants can alter neurodevelopment, resulting in disorders such as autism.
