Silvia has been interviewed by AcademiaNet about our work on dyslexia genetics. AcademiaNet is a portal aimed at highlighting the achievements of female researchers based across Europe. You can read the interview here.

BNA2017

Silvia will chair a symposium on language genetics at the forthcoming BNA2017 conference, Birmingham 10-13 March.. The aim of the symposium is to cover the most recent advances in language genetic research going from phenotype definitions to the functional dissection...

New grant!

We are extremely grateful for the continuing support to our work by the Royal Society. We have been awarded a 15k  research grant funding new developments in our project aimed at modeling candidate genes for dyslexia in zebrafish. This grant will provide us with...

New publication

Our new review on dyslexia genetics is now out in Advances in Genetics . We have reviewed the recent advances in both genetic mapping and functional characterisation of candidate genes, with focus on the role of cilia biology in dyslexia.

Carnegie Collaborative Award

This week we are very excited to start a project supported by a Carnegie Collaborative Award. This award will allow us to apply state-of-the-art technologies to the analysis of candidate genes for neurodevelopmental disorders. The project will combine our work in...
