Liliana Ruta

Liliana Ruta was a Visiting Ph.D. Student and a Research Associate at the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, U.K., from 2007 to 2012, where she consolidated a sound expertise in early behavioral and neurocognitive markers of autism and early diagnosis. In her current research position at the CNR, she is leading a research group developing and carrying out novel experimental paradigms to examine young children with autism and to track their development in all the domains. During her clinical and research training and Ph.D., she has developed an extensive experience on neurodevelopmental conditions with a particular focus on autism, from biology to clinical implications. In the last few years, she started a new research line aimed to explore the efficacy and feasibility of an early parent-mediated intervention based on ESDM, implemented through the use of tech-enabled remote monitoring (telehealth). She is currently a Child Neuropsychiatrist.
