Early lifeMasel was raised in Melbourne, Australia.[2] She was educated at the University of Melbourne, taking her B.Sc. in 1996. She completed her D.Phil in zoology at the University of Oxford in 2001. She went to Stanford University as a researcher before moving to the University of Arizona in 2004.[1] CareerMasel has published at least 17 peer-reviewed papers.{{efn |By 2017, her papers had been cited at least 2539 times, with an h-index of 24 and an i10-index of 34. The 2004 paper "Transplanted human fetal neural stem cells survive, migrate, and differentiate in ischemic rat cerebral cortex" which she co-authored had been cited 637 times.[3]}}[1] In 2013 she received a research grant from the John Templeton Foundation to study how and where new genes arise.[4] She runs a theoretical group in the University of Arizona's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department where she investigates aspects of evolvability.[5] Masel argues that the conventional account of the origin of new genes, namely that they are commonly duplicated from old genes and then evolve to diverge from them, is a chicken and egg explanation, since a functional gene would have to exist before a new function could evolve. She suggests instead that new genes are born continually from non-coding DNA, a form of preadaptation.[6][7] Books
