Helen Knight studied Natural Science as an undergraduate and did a M.Sc. in Neuroscience at Edinburgh University working in the in the labs of Douglas Blackwood and Richard Morris. She then completed a PhD in Psychiatric Genetics at the IGMM in Edinburgh http://www.igmm.ac.uk/. After post-doctoral positions under Trevor Robbins and Barbara Sahakian at the Behavioral and Clinical Neuroscience Institute (BCNI), Cambridge University http://research.psychol.cam.ac.uk/~bcni/, and Chris Ponting at MRC Functional Genomics Unit (FGU), Oxford University http://www.mrcfgu.ox.ac.uk/, before stating her own lab at Nottingham University.
