Caleb Webber

Caleb Webber is a Researcher at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford. He is actively engaged in collaborative research through the Genetics of Cognitive Dysfunction (Gencodys) Consortium and the IMI StemBANCC consortium, where he leads the Data Interpretation package.

• Education: PhD in 2003 from the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Department of Genetics, Cambridge University

His research focuses on understanding the genetic basis of diseases, particularly the role of copy number variations (CNVs) in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders such as autism and Parkinson's disease. Using computational biology and genomics approaches, he investigates gene clustering, functional interactions, and therapeutic targets related to these conditions.

The recent publications highlight his work in genetics, neuroscience, and computational biology, with a focus on CNVs in autism, iPSC-derived neuronal models for Parkinson's disease, and the application of omics studies to understand disease mechanisms.

He is affiliated with the Oxford Parkinson's Disease Centre and contributes to large-scale international research initiatives.
