Fabiola Ceroni

Fabiola Ceroni is a Senior Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University's School of Biological and Medical Sciences, specializing in the Molecular Genetics of Human Eye Development. Her research focuses on identifying novel genes and molecular mechanisms underlying developmental eye disorders through advanced genomic techniques.

• Institution: Oxford Brookes University
• School: School of Biological and Medical Sciences
• Role: Senior Research Fellow in Professor Ragge's team

Her work primarily addresses developmental eye disorders such as anophthalmia, microphthalmia, and coloboma, utilizing whole genome/exome sequencing and copy number variant analysis. Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding genetic regulation in eye development and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Key trends in her publications include:

• Genotype-phenotype correlations in developmental eye disorders
• Role of structural variants and non-coding sequences in congenital anomalies
• Genetic mechanisms in autism spectrum disorder and neurodevelopmental syndromes
• CRISPR/Cas9 applications for functional validation

She collaborates with multidisciplinary teams and contributes to open-access research, with publications available via Oxford Brookes' Research Repository (RADAR).
