| May 8, 2012 | Novel Treatment Approaches for Autism |
| Speaker: Dr. Theoharis Theoharides | |
| Dr. Theoharides was the first to show that mast cells can be stimulated by non-allergic triggers to secrete inflammatory mediators, selectively leading to disruption of the gut-blood-brain barriers. Based on his discoveries, Dr. Theoharides proposed the novel concept that mast cells play a critical role in brain and gut inflammation and autism.
Dr. Theoharides is the Director of the Molecular Immunopharmacology and the Drug Discovery Laboratory as well as a Professor of Pharmacology, biochemistry and Internal Medicine at Tufts University. He received his degrees from Yale University and has published over 300 research papers and three textbooks. |
