Relationship between the inflammatory signal in the gut and peripheral blood of GI-symptomatic children with ASD

Stephen Walker, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Genetics and Developmental Biology at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Together with Dr. Arthur Krigsman, Dr. Walker is working to develop a non-invasive peripheral blood-based biomarker for the identification of gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation in children with autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Walker will present results from his latest research studies showing the relationship between the inflammatory signal in the gut and peripheral blood of GI-symptomatic children with ASD and how this information can be used for the development of a minimally-invasive clinical test.
