Statement of Research Interest

Our lab studies the role of the non-coding genome in gene regulation, with a focus on neurodevelopment and neurogenetic disease. As many genetic disorders of brain development cannot at present be explained by routine genetic diagnostics, we anticipate that many of these disorders are caused by alterations of non-coding elements, including enhancers. We aim to decipher the contribution of the non-coding genome to brain disorders, ultimately working towards the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for patients.
