Personal profile
Research
I lead a research group investigating the epigenome and cell identity, at the University of Western Australia and the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. After receiving my PhD from UWA in 2005, I undertook postdoctoral studies at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where I developed and applied new techniques to map the epigenome and transcriptome. Having returned to UWA in 2012, my laboratory is focused upon understanding the role of the epigenome in regulation of cell identity, and developing molecular tools to precisely edit the epigenome and transcriptional activity to control cell state and functions.
