Her research centers on genomic medicine implementation, particularly examining public attitudes toward genetic discrimination in life insurance, barriers to uptake of population genomic screening for conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia and hereditary cancers, and ethical frameworks for family notification in genetic conditions. Her work directly informs health policy and regulatory reform in Australia.
The recent publications and projects reflect a consistent focus on public trust in genomics, genetic discrimination, and preventive genomics. Her studies frequently use survey-based and qualitative methods to assess consumer and researcher perspectives, with findings published in high-impact journals such as European Journal of Human Genetics and npj Genomic Medicine. She actively contributes to national and international discourse through conference keynotes and policy engagement.
Jane Tiller has received significant recognition for her advocacy and leadership, including being a finalist for the Eureka Science Prize, Research Australia Advocacy Award, and Women in Industry Social Leader of the Year. She was also awarded the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Early Career Researcher Travel Grant in 2023.
She has been an invited speaker and organizer at major conferences including the International Congress of Genetics and Genomics, CanForum 2023, and the European Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting. Her research is funded by the NHMRC and she plays a key role in the Australian Genomics initiative. She collaborates widely with national and international experts in genetics, ethics, and public health.
While no formal advisees are listed, her leadership in projects and mentorship through collaborative networks underscores her growing influence in the field of public health genomics.
