Research in Autism

Many groups throughout the University of Oxford and the Oxford area.

  • Dr Steven Chance

    Our studies of disease examine the neuroanatomy of Autism, Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia using post-mortem human brain material. We are interested in the relationship between brain structure and function - particularly language and social cognition.

  • Professor Angela Vincent

    Maternal immunity in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly autism

  • Professor Margaret Esiri

    Brain Bank for Autism

  • Professor Kia Nobre

    Professor Kia Nobre

    Director of the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity

  • Professor Dorothy Bishop

    Neurodevelopmental disorders, especially those affecting language and communication

  • Dr Gaia Scerif

    Young children with neurodevelopmental disorders of known genetic origin, overlap with autistic spectrum and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

  • Miss Hannah Buxton

    Currently studying for a D.Phil under the supervision of Professor Dorothy Bishop.

  • David A. Menassa

    Investigating the balance between excitation and inhibition in the autism brain using stereology in post mortem samples and magnetoencephalography (MEG) in recruited autism spectrum disorder individuals.

  • Dr Esther Becker

    Molecular mechanisms underlying neuron development and autism

  • Dr Diane Newbury

    Genetic contributions to risk of neurodevelopmental disorders with a focus upon language impairment

  • Dr Alex Popescu

    The nosology of autism spectrum disorders; longitudinal qualitative research in autism; cinematic, media, and digital art interventions in young persons with autism; trans-cultural aspects of autism.

  • Dr Anne Stewart

    Research of patient and carer's experience of ASD

  • Dr Matthew Broome

    Investigating the relationship between autism and schizophrenia, adult mental health outcomes in children with ASD, the prodromal phase of psychosis and the formation of delusions, affective instability and philosophy and psychiatry, neuroimaging.

  • Mathura Ravishankar

    I am working on a project titled "An Excitiation/Inhibition Study of the Autistic Brain Characterized by Magnetoencephalography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging"
