Researchers :
E. Gene Stubbs, MD
Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Pediatrics (Oregon Health and Sciences University, Portland, Oregon), Dr. Stubbs is currently engaged in a “Study of the use of Vitamin D to prevent Autism in newborn siblings” based out of the EverGreen Center in Oregon City.
Jan Van Santen Ph.D
Director and Professor of Oregon Health and Science University’s “Center for Spoken Language and Understanding,” Dr. van Santen’s current research interests are focused on a broad range of problems in speech and language technology, with special emphasis on basic and applied speech and language technology research for communication disorders.
Jean-Baptiste Roullet, Ph.D
Research Associate Professor and Manager of the Pediatrics Research Laboratories at Oregon Health and Science University (Portland, Oregon), Dr. Roullet’s current research interests include rare diseases caused by disorders of the sterol and isoprenoid pathway, autism and stem cell research.
Annette Estes Ph.D and Stephen R. Dager, MD
Doctors Stephen R. Dager and Annette Estes, researchers at the University of Washington and Children’s Hospital, want to learn more about brain development in young siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The information gained in their IBIS study may improve methods of early detection and improve intervention for infants who may be at risk for developing autism and lead to better outcome for these young children and their families.
Jen Morgan and Amanda Tepfer
PhD students Jen Morgan and Amanda Tepfer from Oregon State University’s Movement Studies in Disability Program will present on a study aimed at understanding the physical fitness of school-aged children with Autism. Oregon State University Associate Professor Megan MacDonald, PhD is the Principal Investigator for this study.
