Kate's research aims to fill the gap in genetic diagnosis for day-to-day problems faced by individuals with intellectual disability and their families. She applies cognitive neuroscience methods to characterize developmental disorders of known genetic origin, understand the underlying mechanisms, and work towards effective treatments. Additionally, she seeks to understand how subtle genetic differences influence neuronal function and neural systems, which can drastically constrain the emergence of cognitive abilities, communication, and social interaction. Broadly, her work aims to contribute to the evidence base for person-centred and family-centred practices in genomic medicine.
