Pathway to Independence - an interview with Evan Healy
Abstract:
Evan Healy is an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow and NHMRC Investigator at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, in Professor Chen Davidovich's lab. Evan is interested in understanding the chromatin and transcriptional mechanisms that establish and maintain long-term gene silencing, and how their dysregulation underpins developmental disorders and cancer. He is now one of Development's Pathway to Independence programme fellows. We caught up with him to learn about his career path, what he hopes to gain from the Pathway to Independence programme, and what questions he hopes to tackle with his own group.
