Whitelaw was the first to demonstrate epigenetic inheritance in mammals.[1] She now currently works at La Trobe University in Australia. BiographyWhitelaw performed undergraduate studies at the Australian National University and obtained her D.Phil. from University of Oxford.[2] She has worked for 15 years in London and Oxford, and since 1991 in Australia.[2] She heads the Department of Population Studies and Human Genetics, dedicated to the study of epigenetics and mammalian gene expression, at Queensland Institute of Medical Research.[3] WorkWhitelaw has worked extensively on the control of gene expression in higher eukaryotes. In 1999 Whitelaw, together with her co-workers made the first-ever demonstration of epigenetic inheritance in mammals.[4] AwardsIn 2008, Whitelaw was awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australia Fellowship and in 2011 she became a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.[5] In 2011, she received the Jubilee Medal from the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for work on the transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic marks.[6] References1. ^{{cite journal | pmid = 10545949 | doi=10.1038/15490 | volume=23 | title=Epigenetic inheritance at the agouti locus in the mouse | journal=Nat Genet | pages=314-8 | last1 = Morgan | first1 = HD | last2 = Sutherland | first2 = HG | last3 = Martin | first3 = DI | last4 = Whitelaw | first4 = E}} 2. ^1 Professor Emma Whitelaw, www.ihbi.qut.edu.au, retrieved 9 June 2012 3. ^NGED Network Member Profile, retrieved 9 June 2012 4. ^Michael Balter: Inheritance Is More Than Gene Deep, Science, 12 April 2006, retrieved 9 June 2012 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.science.org.au/fellowship/fellows/professor-emma-whitelaw |title=Professor Emma Whitelaw |publisher=Australian Academy of Science|access-date=25 September 2016}} 6. ^Tim Dean: Epigenetics researcher Emma Whitelaw awarded IUBMB Jubilee Medal, LifeScientist, 24 February 2011, retrieved 9 June 2012 External links
