Current projects | Student research projects | Teaching activities
Welcome to the Knaupp Group. We investigate how transcription factors control gene regulation and cell identity in development and disease. Our research combines molecular biology, epigenomics and proteomics to uncover the mechanisms that define and reshape cellular states. We offer a collaborative and supportive environment for students and research collaborators, with opportunities to gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge techniques. Whether you are a prospective student, donor or collaborator, we invite you to learn more about our research and how you can get involved.
We have opportunities for PhD students, post docs and senior researchers to join our lab. Feel free to contact Dr Knaupp with any queries.
Interested in Joining Us?
We welcome expressions of interest from prospective Honours and PhD students. Current projects are listed on the Monash Supervisor Connect portal, or you are welcome to contact Dr Knaupp directly to discuss potential opportunities.
Industry involvement
Our group develops and refines novel molecular tools for locus-specific proteomics, including TINC, which has applications in gene regulation, target validation, and precision profiling of chromatin-associated complexes. We welcome discussions with industry partners interested in collaborative method development, technology translation or contract research opportunities.
Selected funding groups
We gratefully acknowledge the generous support provided by the following organisations:
- National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
- Australian Research Council (ARC)
- Monash University Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (FMNHS)
- Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI)

Teaching activities
Dr Knaupp supervises Honours, PhD, and Masters students and regularly contributes to research training and mentoring at Monash University. She is passionate about fostering curiosity, independence, and critical thinking in the next generation of scientists.
