Tessa obtained her ๐ฃ๐ต๐ from the University of Western Australia working under the supervision of Prof. Ryan Lister. Her work focused on developing and characterizing several novel epigenome editing tools that enable potent combinatorial recruitment and improved transcriptional regulation compared to current systems. She continued this work as a ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, optimizing these molecular tools for deeply probing the complex epigenomic landscape. She then gained ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ experience with PYC Therapeutics developing her skills in optimising large molecular screening tools for identifying potential RNA binding domains that could be used for targeting small RNA therapeutics to specific cells and tissues. She has since started a new role as an RNA Design ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ผ๐ at UWA and the new Australian Centre for RNA Therapeutics in Cancer (ACRTC). This role is supervised by Prof. Archa Fox and is positioned within a large collabortive team aimed at designing RNA therapies for individualised cancer treatments. Her role specifically entails developing approaches for RNA structure optimisation, with the aim of improving stability and targeting efficacy.
