2023年3月7日，李晓江团队和中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所研究员张永清团队合作在自闭症猴模型研究方面取得新突破。他们研究发现，CHD8（chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8）基因突变导致食蟹猴胚胎期胶质细胞异常增多而导致大头畸形。相关研究发表于Cell Discovery。

由于SHANK3基因突变也可以导致自闭症。李晓江团队与张永清团队早在2017年就利用CRISPR/Cas9技术建立了世界首例SHANK3基因编辑的自闭症猴模型，并且发现SHANK3可特异性调控灵长类胚胎大脑发育。而本研究中关于CHD8基因突变猴模型的发现再次证实了利用非人灵长类动物模型研究自闭症病理机制的必要性和不可取代性。
