We are very happy to share the results of a project conducted in collaboration with the University of Bologna, published in The FASEB Journal. With this work we identified a rare mutation in the SPART gene and leading to a form of developmental delay. Functional...

This year Away Day has been a great success. We started in St Monans Parish Church which we were lucky to find open. Just we minutes from there, we enjoyed a fantastic outdoor lunch at the East Pier Smokehouse overlooking the sea. This gave the calories to set off for...

The neurogenetics group took part to this year SoapBoxScience event in Edinburgh. SoapBoxScience is aimed at promoting the visibility of women in STEM while discussing science with the general public. Silvia was one of the speakers on a soap box. Judith and Filippo...

Silvia gave a talk at the 6th International conference on Biophotonics ICOB2019. This was a great opportunity to showcase our work on functional characterization of genes implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders.

See our latest preprint; another collaboration with Dr Marietta Papadatou-Pastou looking at the link between handedness and mathematical abilities. This is the first output by Filippo!

Filippo represented the group at IBANGS 2019 in Edinburgh. He gave a short presentation on a symposium on laterality and cognition. This included the latest development of our projects with many collaborator around the world. Check out some of the action at #IBANGS2019.

Silvia features in this new exhibition organised by the Royal Society of Edinburgh celebrating women in science. Here you can find a guide of the event. The exhibition launch coincided with an event featuring Silvia together with the current and former RSE Presidents,...

We are excited to share the largest ever meta-analysis for left-handedness prevalence. This work look at data from over 200 studies with more than 2 million participants. The study has been led by our collaborator Dr Marietta Papadatou-Pastou at the University of...
