Clyde Francks

Clyde Francks is a geneticist based at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands. He is known for his research on the genetic basis of handedness and brain asymmetry. His recent work, co-authored and published in Nature Communications, identified a gene named TUBB4B that may play a significant role in determining whether individuals are left-handed or right-handed. Francks' research contributes to a deeper understanding of how genetic factors influence laterality and brain function.
