Adrienne Sullivan

Dr Adrienne Sullivan is a Group Leader at the Adelaide Centre for Epigenetics within the School of Biomedicine at the University of Adelaide. She leads the Development and Epigenetics Lab, focusing on understanding epigenetic mechanisms controlling gene enhancers during cellular differentiation and disease. Her work bridges developmental biology and oncology, examining how epigenetic remodeling influences cell identity and contributes to cancer drug resistance. Dr Sullivan is eligible to supervise Masters and PhD students in these areas.

Research Interests:

• Epigenetic regulation of gene enhancers
• Cell fate determination during mammalian development
• Molecular basis of obesity and metabolic disorders
• 3D genome organization and nuclear architecture
• Functional genomics and epigenetic profiling techniques

Publications highlight her expertise in developmental epigenetics (gastruloid models), obesity genetics (SIM1 variants), and molecular biology techniques (loopometer assay). Though no awards are explicitly mentioned, her active research profile indicates significant contributions to these fields.
