An investigation into the use of stereophotogrammetry for the analysis of craniofacial dysmorphology in schizophrenia
Studies of craniofacial dysmorphology in schizophrenia, carried out since the 1960s, have reported minor physical anomalies in those with schizophrenia, prominently in the craniofacial region. Indirect methods, most notably 3D laser imaging, have been used previously for investigating craniofacial …

A functional and therapeutic investigation of ciliopathy proteins and ciliopathies
… degeneration. In this project, I have studied craniofacial dysmorphology related to Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) in humans, mice, and zebrafish, and shown there to be consistent midfacial flattening and hypoplasia. Bbs8, a causative gene of BBS, has a key role in neural crest migration and …
