Anne Voss

Division Head, Epigenetics & Development at THE WALTER AND ELIZA HALL INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL RESEARCH

Anne Voss's work focuses on a number of proteins that are critical for embryonic development as well as stem cell development and function. They are subject to genetic mutations, which cause leukemia, solid tumors, and birth defects.

These important proteins affect the manner, in which the genetic material is packaged in the cell nucleus. They have far-reaching consequences for the function of the genome, which is finely tuned during healthy development and adult life, but abnormal in cancer and other diseases.

Anne investigates how these proteins function in health and disease.
