On Wednesday 11 November we held our second Development presents... webinar, which featured three talks on modelling human developmental disorders in model organisms.

Here, Helen Rankin Willsey (a postdoc in Matthew State’s lab at UCSF, working closely with Richard Harland’s lab at UC Berkeley), discussed her work using Xenopus is used to model autism risk genes. 

Helen's paper is part of our Special Issue on The Origins and Mechanisms of Developmental Disorders, guest edited by Sally Dunwoodie and John Wallingford (who chairs the Q&A session after the talk). Check out the Special Issue here:
