You're invited to "Brains for Autism" Trivia Night on Sunday, October 25! This virtual event is presented by the Research Civitan Club and will benefit UAB Autism Research. Compete in a fun, action-packed night of trivia (with prizes!) from the comfort of your own couch, and help fund important autism research happening on UAB's campus. We can't wait to (virtually) see you there!
You can join in on the fun by registering here or with the button above. Your registration will grant you access to the event, and your participation will support UAB Autism Research.
The Research Civitan Club (RCC) is located at the UAB Civitan International Research Center. Club members are faculty, students, and local community members who volunteer to support the local Birmingham community. The mission of the Club is to aid our local community who are affected by neurodevelopmental disorders.
The central goals of autism research at UAB are to learn more about what causes autism and to develop treatments that can improve the quality of life for people living with the condition. There are still many theories about what causes autism, but most researchers now believe that both genetic and environmental factors play roles. As science continues to shed light on the molecular workings that underpin autism, we will see more profound progress in our understanding of this condition and, we hope, treatments for those affected.
The Center is an internationally recognized leader in research, training, and clinical care for people with neurodevelopmental and other brain disorders.
