We’re looking for a new research assistant to join our team @ChildVisionLab, in London UK and study children and adults with normal sight and eye disease. Techniques include fMRI, EEG, VR. This job is excellent prep for a phd in cog sci.

Very proud that our study showing cone-mediated cortical function and vision after gene therapy in children with achromatopsia is now published in Brain academic.oup.com/brain/advan…, reporting the first results of this exciting research!
Gene therapy has partly restored function of the retina’s cone receptors in two children born completely colourblind, reports a study led by Dr @TesDekker @UCLeye @ChildVisionLab & Dr @MichelMichaelid @MoorfieldsBRC into potential achromatopsia treatment ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/aug/gene…

Farahbakhsh et al. show that gene therapy can activate dormant cone photoreceptor pathways in children with achromatopsia, a monogenic disease that causes complete loss of colour vision. The changes are paired with improved visual function. bit.ly/3dJ8QBK

Our little scientists are pure artists! One of the children we scanned at the @ChildVisionLab was inspired by their own brain scan, and carved this wonderful #Halloween brain scan #pumpkin 🧠🎃! So much creativity 👏
