Molecular Genetics of Human Sexual Differentiation

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。我确定了“间性”和变性条件的遗传原因和性发育的基础机制，以改善临床管理。我研究男性基因的水平如何导致帕金森病的男性偏见，并致力于开发基因疗法。

Whether we are born male or 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 identify the genetic causes of ‘intersex’ and transsex conditions and the mechanisms underpinning sexual development, towards improved clinical management. I study how the levels of male genes contribute to male bias in Parkinson’s disease and towards developing a gene therapy.
