Emma Whitelaw Шаблон:Post-nominals is an eminent molecular biologist and NHMRC Australia Fellow at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research and is among Australia's leading researchers of epigeneticsШаблон:Says who. Whitelaw was the first to demonstrate epigenetic inheritance in mammals.[1] She now currently works at La Trobe University in Australia.
Biography
Whitelaw performed undergraduate studies at the Australian National University and obtained her D.Phil. from University of Oxford.[2] She has worked for 15 years in London and Oxford, and since 1991 in Australia.[2] She heads the Department of Population Studies and Human Genetics, dedicated to the study of epigenetics and mammalian gene expression, at Queensland Institute of Medical Research.[3]
Work
Whitelaw has worked extensively on the control of gene expression in higher eukaryotes. In 1999 Whitelaw, together with her co-workers made the first-ever demonstration of epigenetic inheritance in mammals.[4]
Awards
In 2008, Whitelaw was awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australia Fellowship and in 2011 she became a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.[5] In 2011, she received the Jubilee Medal from the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for work on the transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic marks.[6]
