Tessa Swain
Dr Tessa Swain obtained her PhD 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 has continued this work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, optimizing these molecular tools for deeply probing the complex epigenomic landscape. This research is aimed at providing a means of disentangling currently unclear or contradictory gene regulatory roles for a range of epigenome modifying proteins (effectors), screening diverse combinations of effectors, and altering complex combinatorial chromatin states that have previously been resistant to epigenomic editing.
