# Event Details - **Event Name**: 30th annual Advances in Autism Conference - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 03:30 pm - **Event Description**: Precision Therapeutics in Profound AutismAbout this EventAdmissionTickets and Sponsorships availalbe now!This IN-PERSON event will be hosted on Thursday, May 28, 2026.International studies led by the Director of the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment, Joseph D. Buxbaum, PhD, MSc, and colleagues, have identified over 250 genes that, if changed, strongly contribute to autism. These discoveries also show that 30% of individuals with profound autism have genetic mutations.Clinical researchers are now shifting their focus on treatments for autism. Rather than treating all autism as a single entity, we can now begin to look at genetically determined subtypes of autism and consider treatments that are tailored to the genetic subtype. This approach, called precision therapeutics, has revolutionized cancer treatment, and will revolutionize the treatment of profound autism.Attend the conference to learn how researchers are identifying genetic mutations in autism, how the mutations lead to biologically-determined subtypes of autism, and how preclinical and clinical research are developing and testing new treatments for these subtypes. The interactions between academic scientists, families and advocacy groups, and industry partners will also be discussed, as precision therapeutics requires input from all these groups.ProgramJoseph D.
