An estimated one in every 110 children is diagnosed with autism, making it more common that childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. Participants are needed for a research project led by Overlook physician Roger Kurlan – “Exploratory Gene Expression Analysis of Childhood Autism.” For more information, contact Research Study Coordinator Caroline Panter at 908-522-5901,

The project has gained the support of foundation trustee Betsy Compton and her husband, Eric Grubman, who have issued a challenge grant to help fund the initiative. To learn more about the autism research project,
