The IBIS Network recently received a $9.5 million grant from NIH to replicate our previous study of brain and behavior development in infants at risk for developing autism. The goal of our new study is to identify the symptoms of autism at an earlier age. We will be recruiting 250 infants across all IBIS Network locations 6-months of age and younger from families we have not previously seen. All infants we see will have at least one full older, full sibling diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

You may be able to participate in a research study to help answer many questions that still exist about immunotherapy like - Who is more likely to get side effects?

What factors can affect the type of side effects patients have (type of cancer or immunotherapy? previous chemo or radiation? existing autoimmune diseases?, etc.) and more.
