Our Research
Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs)
Our lab is utilizing large-scale genomic data to determine novel associations between genetic variants and developmental pathways linked with NDDs. We also employ prediction modelling, integrating genetic and clinical data, to examine the effects of genetic background on the outcomes of autism interventions. Additionally, through engaging directly with autistic individuals and their families, we are discovering how to translate genetic research to clinical practice in a way which meets the needs of the autism community. We also aim to understand the extent to which clinical genetic testing is utilized in the Swedish health care system.
Molecular and cellular models of NDDs
We are applying 2D and 3D cellular modelling techniques to elucidate the effect of genetic factors in NDDs. Through cutting-edge techniques, we explore molecular pathways of genes of interest, both independently and in interaction with environmental factors. Understanding the developing brain will contribute to improving clinical outcomes and well-being in NDDs. This shall prove crucial for the innovation of quality intervention strategies.
