In 2008, he re-trained in the leadership of translational science teams. Since that time, his research has focused on two areas:

  1. improving early identification through the development of objective markers of autism using remote eye gaze tracking
  2. translational studies of a genetic sub-group of autism associated with PTEN mutations
