澳大利亚医学研究院Emma Whitelaw教授
Professor Emma Whitelaw is a molecular biologist working at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. After completing her undergraduate degree at the Australian National University, she obtained a D.Phil at the University of Oxford and remained working in London and Oxford for the next fifteen years, moving back to Australia in 1991. She took up a Senior Lectureship at the University of Sydney and carried out both teaching and research. She has focused her research on eukaryotic transcription using the mouse as a model organism. Her most notable research achievements are in the area of epigenetics. In particular, her studies on the transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic marks have stimulated a great deal of interest from the wider scientific community. More recently she has extended her studies to include the interaction between the environment and the epigenome. In 2008 she was awarded a NHMRC Australia Fellowship, the most prestigious fellowship in medical research in Australia.
