Many congratulations to Irene Feliciotti who joins our lab from Italy thanks to a internship supported by Regione Toscana. Irene will spend 6 months with us and will work on the characterization of genes implicated in language disorders.

We have a fully funded (UK/EU rate) PhD project in statistical genetics. The project will study the role of brain asymmetries in language-related disorders by analysing large and complex datasets characterised with a large cognitive and behavioural data and for which genome-wide genetic data are available. To apply send a cover letter and CV to Silvia (sp58@st-andrews.ac.uk). You can find the full advert here.

What an incredible experience! It is not often that something can change quite drastically your way of thinking. I never imagined I would get so much out of the Royal Society Pairing Scheme.

For context, it is worth keeping in mind the timing of the events: 4^th -7^th  December, which can easily be one Continue reading →

Many congratulations Rebeca for succesfully defending your PhD thesis! And many thanks to the examinars Dr Gareth Miles (internal) and Prof Richard Wade-Martins (University of Oxford); and special mention to Angela who made it possible to celebrate with proper Italian baking.

We are inviting applications for a fully funded PhD project aimed at dissecting the genetics of human handedness. For informal inquiries please contact Silvia (sp58@st-andrews.ac.uk) and for more information see the full advert.
