ABOUT ME

 

Biography

Merlin Crossley is Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Quality) at UNSW and Professor of Molecular Biology. He has also worked or studied at the Universities of Melbourne, Oxford, Harvard and Sydney. He has been recognized by numerous awards, including a Rhodes Scholarship and the Australian Academy of Science's Gottschalk Medal. He has made significant contributions to academic administration, serving as Dean at UNSW since 2010, and previously having been Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research at the University of Sydney from 2006 to 2008.

Education

  • BSc Hons (Melb) 1986
  • DPhil (Oxon) 1990

 

RESEARCH

 

Research Goals

  • Fundamental mechanisms of gene regulation
  • Epigenetics
  • Artificial DNA-binding proteins
  • Blood development
  • Haemophilia
  • Sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia
  • Gene therapy via CRISPR gene editing

Research in Detail

We are interested in understanding the fundamental molecular mechanisms by which genes are controlled. Ultimately we hope to treat chronic diseases, such as sickle cell anaemia or diabetes, by turning on beneficial genes or repressing harmful genes.
