Overview
I am a Post-Doctoral Research Associate student in the Cardiff University Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics working on common genetic risk variation in schizophrenia.
I was previously a PhD student in the Neuroscience and Mental Health Innovation Institute studying the effects of the neuropsychiatric risk gene CACNA1C as well as sex on gene expression in the hippocampus as well as associative learning and memory performance.
