Funded Activity Summary

Whether we are born as a male or a female affects our sense of social place, behaviour, gender identity, reproductive options, and disease susceptibility. I am a molecular geneticist investigating the biology of gender. I study the mechanisms underpinning sexual development, with an emphasis on identifying the genetic causes of ‘intersex’ and transsex disorders. I am also studying how SRY, a male gene, controls voluntary movement, and its possible link to Parkinson’s disease.
