The Wales Autism Research Centre provides an evidence base for the Wales National Strategy for Autism, stimulating growth of autism research in Wales, as well as providing stakeholders and families with additional regional expertise. The University of Cardiff has an established and strong track record in developmental psychology, extensive state of the art brain imaging facilities and a reputation for advancing the field of mental health genetics.
Autistica International Fellowships
Indian autism fellowships in autism research
Fortis Healthcare (India) Limited, India’s fastest growing hospital network in collaboration with Autistica has provided two mentored Fellowships in Autism, to increase knowledge of this disorder and capacity in India. The Fellowships will offer the opportunity for two young Indians to study in the UK for two years and learn from some of the world’s leading researchers.
We are delighted to form this new partnership with Fortis which is enabling the start of a programme of 6 Indian Mentored Fellowships aimed at building capacity in the Indian research community. The Fellows, either pre or post doc will have the opportunity to work with some of the UK’s leading researchers undertaking bio medical research into autism.
