Dr Kiymet Bozaoglu
I am a Team Leader in the Neurogenetics group within the Bruce Lefroy Centre at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. My research focuses on understanding how our genes may be contributing to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). My work combines genetics and stem cell biology techniques to determine what really drives ASD which will enable us to develop personalised treatments for our patients.
I am passionate about championing change in the Australian scientific community to increase diversity and inclusivity. This is not just about achieving gender equity, but to empower all scientists to be the best that they can be in the absence of prejudices against their gender, race or religion. WiSPP gives us a unique opportunity to work together across the Parkville precinct and beyond to achieve balance and safe environments for all. I am so proud to be part of WiSPP and networking with lots of amazing people across the precinct.
