Biography
I am a researcher in molecular biology and genetics, with an interest in how genomic information orchestrates the complicated processes associated with the development and life of an organism. I have been working in the fields of gene expression, epigenetics, nuclear structure and function, mouse development and human genetics, completing a PhD at The University of Sydney, Australia, followed by a post-doc at the MRC Human Genetics Unit, Edinburgh, UK. I am now a Senior Research Fellow in the Genomics Research Centre, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, investigating the genetic basis of complex human traits and disorders.
