Upcoming Events

MARAbio offers multiple ways to learn more about the MAR-Autism Test, including live virtual dinner or coffee discussions, as well as on-demand educational videos for added flexibility.

  • WATCH NOW

    Dr. Jan Van de Water, Founder and Chief Science Advisor, presents the scientific foundation of the MAR-Autism Test, including recent clinical validation findings and practical considerations for provider use in this prerecorded video.

  • WATCH NOW
    Explore a series of clinical videos presented by Dr. Bob Wassman, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Clinical Development at MARAbio. Dr. Wassman explains the science behind MAR-Autism, reviews the clinical evidence supporting this immune-mediated subtype, and discusses practical considerations for providers evaluating and supporting families.

    Date: Flexible scheduling available

    Do your families of autistic children ever ask whether siblings (including future children) might also be at risk for autism?

    Research from the UC Davis MIND Institute uncovered a distinct immune-related cause of autism: specific maternal autoantibodies that can affect fetal brain development. These antibodies are present in up to 20% of autism cases, and today, through MARAbio’s MAR-Autism Test, providers can identify this immune subtype with >95% specificity in siblings of autistic children.

    We’d love for you to join us for an informal Coffee Talk(and yes — coffee’s on us!) to learn more about:

    • The MIND Institute discovery and its clinical implications

    • How the MAR-Autism Test works and which patients qualify

    • How providers are integrating this into practice to support families seeking answers

  • Date: Wednesday, February 25th
    Time: 7:00–8:00 PM PST
    Speakers: Judy Van de Water, PhD & Megan Martin, MS, CGC
    Format: Virtual — meal credit provided by email
    Seating is limited, so please register as soon as possible.

    About the Dinner Program

    Over dinner, Dr. Van de Water will share the science behind the MAR-Autism Test, discuss the latest clinical validation data, and introduce MARAbio’s test which is now available to providers and their patients across the country.

    This small, by-invitation program is a unique opportunity to learn about the research:

    • Learn how the MAR-Autism Test supports earlier, more precise identification of a key biological subtype of autism.

    • Explore how this testing fits into your clinical practice, specifically with preconception care.

    • Connect directly with MARAbio’s scientific and clinical leadership.
