معرفی
Professor Grant Montgomery is a leading academic at the University of Queensland (UQ), serving as Director of the UQ Genome Innovation Hub and Group Leader of the Genomics of Reproductive Disorders at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB). His primary focus is on understanding the genetic and epigenetic basis of reproductive disorders, particularly endometriosis, through large-scale genomic studies and functional analyses. His work integrates multi-omics data to identify disease mechanisms and develop translational solutions.
Research Interests:
- Genetic and epigenetic regulation of endometrial function
- Systems genetics approaches to study complex diseases
- Functional validation of genomic risk variants
- Development of clinical tools like eQTL/mQTL browsers
- Multi-omics integration for disease biomarker discovery
Recent Articles: Highlighting endometriosis genetics, comorbidity mechanisms, and novel diagnostic approaches. Key themes include genetic risk stratification, epigenetic dysregulation, and translational applications of genomic data.
Collaborations: Active partnerships with institutions globally, including University of California, San Francisco, Oxford Endometriosis CaRe Centre, and Monash University. Major consortia include International Endometriosis Genetics Consortium and Reprogen Consortium.
Advising & Training: Supervises PhD students focusing on endometrial cell biology, epigenetic regulation, and computational genomics. Provides training opportunities in functional genomics and systems biology.
Labs/Teams: Leads a multidisciplinary team with expertise in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and clinical research. Maintains cell culture facilities and single-cell sequencing capabilities.
