The Autism Tissue Program

The Autism Tissue Program is a joint effort of the Autism Society of America (ASA) Foundation, the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR), and the M.I.N.D. (Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders) Institute at the University of California, Davis. Our organizations are determined to understand autism spectrum disorders by providing approved scientists access to the most fundamental, rare, precious, and most necessary of resources: human brain tissue. Our national outreach program makes families aware of the need for this Gift of Hope.
