Genetic, neurological and cognitive characterisation of developmental language disorders

Together with geneticist Thomas Bourgeron at Institut Pasteur and many collaborators all over France, I have set up a new project looking at genetic and neurological origins of dyslexia and SLI. It started in 2006 with funding from the City of Paris and the European Commission (NEURODYS, PI: Gerd Schulte-Körne, München), and with the help of postdoc Caroline Bogliotti.
