ABC-CT (Autism Biomarkers Consortium for Clinical Trials)
To see if eye tracking (ET) or electroencephalogram (EEG) assessments have potential use in future clinical trials of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Learn more about healthy baby development and develop new tools for pediatricians so they can better support the unique development of each child.
Validate the use of respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) and esophageal manometry in diagnosing upper airway obstruction (UAO) in newborn infants.
To better understand the genetic changes that make children susceptible to the development of autism spectrum disorder, and to study how these changes influence clinical outcomes.
Determine how potentially stressful situations, including prematurity, hospitalizations, maternal mental health and rapid repeat births can impact a baby’s development in the first 12 months of their life.
The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable families in Los Angeles, including those caring for a child with special health care needs. Information from this research will be used to understand what the key resource and service needs of families are at this time as well as identify interventions that can be developed or adapted to address these needs.
We are interested in observing whether and how infants learn when interacting with a robot during a learning assessment contingency paradigm.
The effect of flu immunization on the level of immunity against the flu in breastmilk, and how this may help protect a breastfeeding infant.
Two main purposes of the study: (1) to see if social communication of children with TSC can be improved with a short term behavioral intervention (JASPER) and (2) to see if these improvements remain long after the study, and whether they can be observed with electroencephalography (EEG).
Our goal is early identification of deviation from healthy brain development to allow targeted early intervention and improve developmental outcomes.
