On this episode of The Vitals, we dive deep into one of the most compelling topics in global health today: autism. We welcome two leading experts from the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai: 

• Dr. Joseph D. Buxbaum – Professor of Psychiatry, Genetics & Genomic Sciences, and Neuroscience; Director of the Seaver Autism Center: https://profiles.mountsinai.org/joseph-d-buxbaum 
• Dr. Avraham (Avi) Reichenberg – Professor of Psychiatry and Preventive Medicine; Director of the Population Research & Environmental Epidemiology Program at Seaver: https://scholars.mssm.edu/en/persons/avraham-reichenberg 

In this episode, Drs. Buxbaum and Reichenberg engage in an insightful conversation covering autism’s genetic architecture, how environmental exposures before and during pregnancy may modulate ASD risk, the real-world implications for families, clinicians, researchers, and the broader community, and what the future may hold for autism care.
