Summary
I am a practising speech pathologist. My research program focuses on the epidemiology and characterisation of childhood communication disorders and literacy problems.
I am a geneticist determining the molecular mechanisms that underlie gonad (testis and ovary) development and dysgenesis in patients with disorders of sexual development.
My background is in the study of human molecular genetic disease, and my interest has evolved to the analysis of embryonic development using the mouse as a model system. My particular interest is in the molecular mechanisms governing limb and craniofacial
I am a reproductive biologist, studying how the environment, both in vivo and in vitro, interacts with oocytes and early embryos in determining both their short and long-term development, with specific interests in application to clinical infertility treatment.
