Genetics and The Developing Brain

Changes in our individual book of life – our DNA – can alter who we are and cause disease. Identifying and understanding changes in our DNA, and how they lead to conditions affecting brain development, is of immense importance.

In this talk, Professor of Paediatric Genetics Stephen Robertson, and Dr Adam O'Neill, Research Fellow, both of the University of Otago Department of Women's and Children's Health, address how this is being achieved, and outline the future applications of this work.
