Profile overview
I am a molecular geneticist working at Monash University. My group is interested in how phenotypic variation arises and which genes control these variation and what are the underlying mechanisms. We use primarily plants to study this process. However, over the years we have diversified interests on genomics across several organisms from plants to flies to humans. The three key areas of work in my lab include 1) How plants sense and respond to changes in temperature at a molecular level? 2) What is the genomic basis of variation in splicing- a molecular process critical for gene regulation and 3) How human genetic diseases are manifested by a specific type of genetic mutation referred to as "repeat expansions? We use a combination of genetics, molecular biology/biochemistry and computational biology to address these questions.
