        <h3>Objective:</h3>
        <p>The two major goals of this core are to develop strategies to profile xenobiotics of concern to childhood neurodevelopment in biological fluids and provide support in metabolomics.  The long-term approach is to establish a horizontally integrated database from the genome through the autistic phenotype to aid in developing and testing hypotheses regarding the disorder. Thus the core provides established analytical support for xenobiotic and proteomic profiling, and is currently developing tools to study the metabolome. </p>

<p>Our specific aims are: I.) Determine xenobiotics in serum, urine and food; II.) Determine levels of nutritional and structural lipids in serum samples; III.) Provide general analytical support for the project including the development of methods for possible biomarkers that are considered important.</p>
