The Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center is dedicated to three broad goals:

Developing innovative, novel and breakthrough treatments for a unique group of overlapping conditions.
Clarifying neurobiological mechanisms that underlie core symptom domains across these conditions.
Providing world-class care to our research participants.

Our Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program currently focuses on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) and Tourette Syndrome (TS) is also of interest to the program.

The Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program is located at the Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein (PRIME) in the Van Etten Building of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
