Research Expertise
Current research is focussed on the application of the electroretinogram (ERG) in neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD. We are currently studying the ERG in children with a language delay and investigating if the ERG signal can be a useful clinical biomarker for the early detection of a difference in neurodevelopment. This work is in collaboration with Dorothy Thompson - UCL Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the Childhood Assessment Team at Flinders Medical center.
Other reserach interests are the clinical application of the electro-oculogram and retinal pigment epithelium physiology.

Research Biography
Doctoral thesis was in drug transporters of the retinal pigment epithelium at King's College London and City University, London with supervision by Prof Geoffrey Arden and Prof John Lawrenson. I then developed an interest in visual function in ASD and studies visual search and motion perceotion in adults using EEG. The retina 'as a window to the brain' led to studying the electroretinogram in ASD in adults and more recently children with an international collaboration beween UCL and Yale Universities. Currently we are looking at the ERG in a range of neurodevelopmental conditions.
