Author Biographies

Amy Dowdle

Amy Dowdle: The topic of my PhD is developmental genetics; specifically, I aim to gain novel insights
into genome activation from studying nuclear structure. I hypothesise that formation of a threedimensional,
transcriptionally competent genome is the trigger for genome activation following conception of a zygote. This project requires imaging zebrafish embryos at various stages to map the changes in nuclear structure, in conjunction with a HiC experiment to capture interactions occurring throughout early development.
