Dr Tennille Sibbritt is researcher at the Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) at Westmead. She graduated with a PhD in RNA Biology in 2015. In 2016, she started working in the Embryology Unit at the CMRI, where she is building a gene regulatory network for head development using mouse embryos.
A gene regulatory network is a collection of molecular species that interact with each other and other species to regulate gene expression. They play a central role in the morphogenesis, regionalisation, and patterning of the brain and craniofacial structures, which rely on the function of various transcription factors; these transcription factors constitute the central nodes of these gene regulatory networks.
Tennille’s research involves the use of high-throughput sequencing technologies and CRISPR-Cas9 genomic editing in combination with fast-tracked mouse chimera analysis.
