Welcome to the ARC
 

The mission of the ARC is to understand the biomedical causes of autism spectrum conditions, and develop new and validated methods for assessment and intervention. The ARC fosters collaboration between scientists in Cambridge University and outside, to accelerate this mission.

The ARC has six research programs focused on autism spectrum conditions:

  • Perception and Cognition

  • Screening and Diagnosis

  • Intervention

  • Hormones

  • Genetics and Proteomics

  • Neuroscience


  • Taking part in Research - Volunteers

    Many of the research projects at ARC would be impossible without the help of volunteers like you!
