Wisconsin Researcher Hopes to Find ‘Unified Framework’ for Treating People with Autism

Named for late Milwaukee attorney James Shaw, the Shaw Scientist Award award is given to a scientist rather than a specific research project. Ari Rosenberg is one of the 2018 recipients. He’s an assistant professor for the department of neuroscience at UW-Madison, and his current research is dealing with the neurological basis for autism. With a PhD in computational neuroscience, Rosenberg says his approach to studying autism is a bit different from most other labs.
