Biography

Mayada Elsabbagh, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at McGill University. Her research focuses on understanding the root causes of autism and tracing its developmental pathways. The approach integrates innovative research with the mission of accelerating translation of scientific discoveries into community impact. Mayada's recent contributions include the identification of very early brain function markers for autism prior to the onset of behavioural symptoms. She also supported the successful launch of collaborative research and translational networks, aimed at accelerating the pace of discovery in early autism. In 2010, Mayada was awarded the Neville Butler Memorial Prize, in recognition of the public value and social relevance of her research. In 2013, she was the recipient of the British Psychological Society Neil O'Conner Prize, awarded for her work in early autism biomarkers.
