• I am interested in how non-coding elements can regulate gene expression.
• Currently, I am researching locus-specific expression of transposable elements during early development. I am particularly interested in exploring the roles of individual elements in regulation of developmental gene expression. My project is in collaboration with the Hughes Lab at the WIMM.
• In my Masters research project, I helped to develop sequencing-based tools to assess Xist-RNA localisation during X inactivation in the Brockdorff Lab, Department of Biochemistry.
