Regulatory Genomics and Cell Identity

Welcome to the Knaupp Group

We explore how transcription factors and their regulatory networks integrate molecular signals to shape gene expression programs and define cell identity in both development and disease.

We're part of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, and a member of the Development & Stem Cells and Cancer Programs,

and the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology.

Our research

Our research focuses on how transcription factor activity is shaped by upstream regulators and downstream effectors, including post-translational modifications, regulatory element binding, and cofactor interactions. We study these mechanisms across diverse physiological and pathological contexts. In parallel, we develop molecular tools to dissect the composition of regulatory complexes at specific genomic loci, providing deeper insight into gene regulation and cell identity.
