Whether we are born as a male or a female affects our sense of social place, behaviour, gender identity, reproductive options, and disease susceptibility. I am a molecular geneticist investigating the biology of gender. I study the mechanisms underpinning sexual development, with an emphasis on identifying the genetic causes of ‘intersex’ and transsex disorders. I am also studying how SRY, a male gene, controls voluntary movement, and its possible link to Parkinson’s disease.

我们出生时是男性还是女性会影响我们的社会地位感、行为、性别认同、生殖选择和疾病易感性。我是一名分子遗传学家，研究性别生物学。我研究性发育的机制，重点是确定“双性”和变性障碍的遗传原因。我也在研究SRY，一种男性基因，是如何控制随意运动的，以及它与帕金森病的可能联系。
