Biography

Scott Berry is a Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in the School of Biomedical Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Plant Science from the John Innes Centre in Norwich, U.K., and has a strong academic background with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Theoretical Physics from the University of Western Australia and a B.Sc. in Theoretical Physics and Biochemistry from the University of Adelaide. His research focuses on investigating quantitative control of gene expression at the single-cell level, exploring mechanisms of epigenetic memory, cellular decision-making, and RNA metabolism within the context of cellular physiology. He is particularly interested in how proper control of gene expression underpins normal development and how its dysregulation can lead to diseases such as cancer. To achieve his research goals, he employs advanced methods including high-throughput microscopy and automated image analysis, while also leveraging data science techniques to interpret large datasets. He aims to contribute to the development of new methodologies in drug discovery and diagnostics applications through his research. His extensive work in cellular genomics and cell biology has garnered him several awards and recognition in the academic community.
