About

I head a bioinformatics research group which is jointly appointed between the Blood Cells and Blood Cancer Division and Bioinformatics Division at WEHI. I completion a PhD in particle physics (2012) from the University of Melbourne, before retraining in the field of bioinformatics under the supervision of Prof. Alicia Oshlack, first at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Australia, 2011-2019, and then the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in 2019. In 2022, I established a new Laboratory at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute,

My research vision is to develop the bioinformatics methods, that together with advances in sequencing technology, will unlock our view of the transcriptome for the discovery of new biology across development and disease.
