Emily joined the Bioinformatics Core at The University of Sheffield in September 2017.
Emily obtained her PhD in the computational biology group of Prof. Colin Semple at the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh. Her PhD thesis studied evolutionary divergence of mammalian chromatin structure.. The main focus of her PhD involved combining multiple differing measurements of chromatin structure from publicly available datasets. This created an orthologous mammalian chromatin dataset to examine for conserved and divergent elements of chromatin domains. She has also worked as a bioinformatics research fellow at The Roslin Institute (2014-2017).
