Biography

Dr. Evan Healy completed his PhD in 2019 at Trinity College Dublin, focusing on defining specific components of Polycomb Repressive Complex machinery that synergize to coordinate genome-wide activities. He joined the Biomedicine Discovery Institute at Monash University in November 2021 as an ARC DECRA Fellow and NHMRC Investigator. His research centers on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying chromatin transcriptional regulation, particularly the role RNA plays in these processes. Dr. Healy's research interests are centered on the molecular mechanisms underpinning chromatin regulation related to gene expression. He investigates how mutations in chromatin regulators influence processes that drive human diseases, including cancer and neurodevelopmental syndromes. His ultimate goal is to leverage basic biological discoveries in order to uncover novel therapeutic strategies.
