Angela Morgan

Professor Angela Morgan is the Group Leader of the Speech & Language research team at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Her work focuses on genetic mechanisms underlying childhood speech and language disorders, with particular expertise in neurodevelopmental conditions such as childhood apraxia of speech, stuttering, and genetic syndromes affecting communication. She holds the academic rank of Professor and serves as a Senior Principal Research Fellow.

Her primary research domains include:

• Genomic medicine applications in speech pathology
• Neurogenetic bases of communication disorders
• Phenotypic characterization of rare genetic syndromes
• Development of clinical frameworks for childhood speech disorders

Publications (2015-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on genetic architectures of speech disorders, neurodevelopmental trajectories, and clinical translation. Recent work emphasizes large cohort studies, genotype-phenotype correlations, and diagnostic guideline development. Article keywords frequently involve neurogenetics, epigenetic regulation, and neurorehabilitation.
