\n<\/TABLE>Wayne Fisher, Ph.D., director of the UNMC Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders and H.B. Munroe Professor of Behavioral Research, will present “Integrating Basic and Applied Research in the Treatment of Autism” at noon in the Eppley Science Hall Amphitheater.<\/p>\n

His presentation is part of a monthly series focused on clinical and translational research.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Larsen, associate dean for clinical research in the College of Medicine, said Dr. Fisher has extensive experience in effectively adapting research findings to a clinical setting.<\/p>\n

“This seminar will allow other UNMC scientists to gain insight into the process and methods Dr. Fisher used in translating research to develop world-class programs,” Dr. Larsen said.<\/p>\n

Before coming to UNMC, Dr. Fisher helped establish world-renowned autism programs at Johns Hopkins University Medical Center in Baltimore and the Marcus Institute in Atlanta. <\/p>\n

Rather than simply trying to cure the behaviors associated with autism and related conditions, Dr. Fisher and his team examine such behaviors to see what triggers them. Once triggers are identified, the team develops ways around and through such behaviors. <\/p>\n
