  • 1933 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

John F. Stein is affiliated with the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Their research spans multiple fields including Neuroscience, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Psychology. The scientist's work explores numerous subfields such as Cognitive Neuroscience, Genetics, Developmental and Educational Psychology, Neurology, and Statistics and Probability.

Stein's main research topics include Reading and Literacy Development, Genetics and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Cognitive and Developmental Aspects of Mathematical Skills, Neurological Disorders and Treatments, Visual Perception and Processing Mechanisms, Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies, and Genetic Associations and Epidemiology.

The scientist has published recent papers on various aspects of developmental dyslexia and language-related cognitive skills. These include:

  • Genome-wide association study reveals new insights into the heritability and genetic correlates of developmental dyslexia (2020, Molecular Psychiatry)
  • Genome-wide analyses of individual differences in quantitatively assessed reading- and language-related skills in up to 34,000 people (2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Theories about Developmental Dyslexia (2023, Brain Sciences)
  • Discovery of 42 Genome-Wide Significant Loci Associated with Dyslexia (2021, bioRxiv [Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory])
  • Language and reading impairments are associated with increased prevalence of non-right-handedness (2023, Child Development)

Stein has frequently published in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Brain Sciences, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Molecular Psychiatry, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Stein collaborates regularly with a core group of co-authors, who include Joel B. Talcott, Silvia Paracchini, Shelley D. Smith, Simon E. Fisher, and Dianne F. Newbury.

Stein was awarded the Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1933.
