The Patrick Wild Centre is a research centre at the University of Edinburgh which aims to better understand genetic conditions affecting brain development, and to improve the care and treatment available for people with these conditions.
The Centre is built upon the principles of collaboration and engagement, bringing together clinical and fundamental scientists, and working alongside the communities affected by these conditions.
