We're hiring a Research Assistant to join @AJ_Hardcastle. The ideal candidate will have a background in mechanisms of neurodegeneration, genetics, and retinal cell biology. Apply today! Closing date 9 August. #research #ophthalmology #nowhiring buff.ly/3OfJk5R

New research in European Journal of Human Genetics by Freddie Braddock & colleagues at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology identified a novel missense variant in the SPARCL1 gene linked to corneal dystrophy. This research expands our knowledge of genetic eye disorders & their complexities. @AJ_Hardcastle go.nature.com/4fXTPrl

My first first-author paper has been published in European Journal of Human Genetics! We describe a novel corneal dystrophy and identify a new corneal dystrophy gene, SPARCL1. Thank you to the co-authors, collaborators, my supervisors, and Moorfields Eye Charity for their support! go.nature.com/4fXTPrl
