Associate Professor Wendy Gold

Associate Professor Wendy Gold is head of the Molecular Neurobiology Research group at Kids Research, The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, the University of Sydney. Her training includes an honors degree in Genetics and a PhD in Genetics and Immunology.
Wendy conducts a research program of interdisciplinary translational research where she has contributed to the understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of many neurodevelopmental disorders as well as examining potential novel therapies. By utilising advanced techniques such as transgenic mouse models, brain organoids, and bioinformatics, her team is at the forefront of understanding and addressing these complex conditions. Her work aims to translate these innovative approaches into finding biomarkers and developing effective therapies such as gene therapies, offering hope for those affected by these challenging disorders.
