The A.J. Drexel Autism Institute is a multidisciplinary university-level research institute focused on public health science approaches to autism spectrum disorders.

The Institute is comprised of Research Program Areas and Support Cores. The Cores support autism spectrum disorder research initiatives within the Program Areas and throughout the rest of the University. Our Cores also collaborate with researchers and other partners outside of Drexel on initiatives that are consistent with the Institute’s mission. Oversight for the Institute is through its Executive Council and the Director receives input from a Science Advisory Board and a Community Advisory Board.
