Kate Jordan is a Research Assistant at the Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences department at King’s College London working with Prof. Tony Charman. Kate is interested in mental health in children and young people, particularly how both neurodevelopmental and contextual factors influence outcomes. Her current work focuses on building a European registry of autistic individuals and those with autism-associated rare genetic conditions who have undergone whole-genome sequencing to help inform individualised research and support strategies.

Personal Statement:
I am really pleased to join the R4N network and be part of a community that brings together diverse perspectives on neurodevelopment. I believe that inclusive, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary research that centres the voices and priorities of neurodivergent people is essential to driving innovation and developing practical, impactful forms of support.
