معرفی
Moira Crosier is a developmental geneticist based at Newcastle University whose research programme integrates human embryology, ocular genetics, neurodevelopmental biology and mitochondrial genetics to unravel the molecular basis of congenital disease.
Research Interests
- Human embryonic and fetal development, focusing on organogenesis of the eye, heart and brain
- Ocular genetics and neuro-ophthalmology, particularly nystagmus and retinal development
- Mitochondrial DNA segregation during early human development
- Genomic mechanisms underlying intellectual disability and neurodevelopmental disorders
- Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics of developing human tissues
Publication Trends
Across >25 peer-reviewed papers (1999-2024) Crosier’s work demonstrates a sustained focus on gene discovery and developmental mechanisms, progressing from early chromosomal mapping studies to cutting-edge single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses. Her recent outputs (2021-2024) emphasise multi-omics integration in human embryonic tissues, uncovering novel regulators of ocular, cardiac and neural development.
Collaborations & Teams
Crosier consistently collaborates with Newcastle colleagues including Professor Bob Anderson, Dr Simon Bamforth, Dr Gavin Clowry, Dr Janet Kerwin and Emerita Professor Susan Lindsay, suggesting an active role within the university’s developmental biology and genetics research community.
