 
The Center for Excellence in Autism Research at the
University of Pittsburgh is under the
direction of Nancy J. Minshew, MD., an internationally recognized expert
in autism. Dr. Minshew is continuing to work with a team of scientists from the
University of Pittsburgh, Drs. Mark Strauss, Susan Campbell, Carla
Mazefsky, Shaun Eack and Bernie
Devlin; Carnegie Mellon University Drs. Marcel Just, Marlene Behrmann and Tom Mitchell; and Duquesne University Dr. Diane
Williams, to search for the cognitive, neurological and genetic basis of
autism. This center has several current research programs that are
actively recruiting participants.
This center contributes to the National Database for Autism Research NDAR, a secure research data repository promoting data sharing and collaboration among ASD investigators.
The following video will give you a better understanding of the goals
