Hayley Ingram is a current Research Officer and Casual Teaching Employee whose main areas of interest are in molecular and cell biology, particularly involving long non-coding RNAs. In her honours year, she completed a project in the field of RNA therapeutics that focused on the synthesis of RNA and cellular delivery. 

In her main role as a Research Officer in the laboratory of Assoc. Prof. Archa Fox, her current work includes a sponsored research project with an external biotechnology company involving antibody-based therapeutics for cancer research. She has also been involved in a collaborative project with the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), working on long non-coding RNA structure discovery and analysis that is currently still on-going. 

As well as laboratory-based research, Hayley has an interest in tertiary teaching. She has been/is currently involved in laboratory demonstrating and marking for undergraduate students in the following units from both the Schools of Human and Molecular Sciences:

• BIOC1001 - Introductory Cellular Biochemistry 
• SCIE1106 - Molecular Biology of the Cell 
• ANHB3323 - Cells, Tissues and Development
• GENE3370 - Genomics

In previous years, she has also worked in pre-clinical trials involving neonatal research in the Preclinical Intensive Care Research Unit (PICRU) at UWA under the supervision of Prof. Jane Pillow.
