Last week, the Institute for Autism Research, which moved to the Department of Pediatrics in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in June thanks to support of The Children’s Guild Foundation, was officially welcomed to UB’s South Campus. Now at UB, the institute will be able to support and benefit more children living with autism and their families. Photos: Sandra Kicman
