Katy Jeppe

Katy Jeppe is a Research Fellow at Monash University's Proteomics Platform, specializing in metabolomics and biomarker research. Her work focuses on sleep deprivation biomarkers, metabolic responses to environmental stressors, and diabetes-related metabolic pathways. She collaborates on projects funded by Transport Victoria and other institutions.

Key research areas include:

• Development of metabolomic-based sleep deprivation biomarkers
• Impact of sleep loss on driver safety and human performance
• Glucagon's role in obesity and diabetes
• Zinc toxicity effects via invertebrate models

Recent projects include the Fatigue Biomarker and Drug Impairment Study (2024-2025) and Sleep Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s Disease Risk (2021-2022). Her 2024 Science Advances publication demonstrated machine learning applications in sleep deprivation detection, gaining significant media attention.

Awards: No explicit awards mentioned, though research has been highlighted in 119 news outlets and cited in multiple platforms.

Grant involvement: Principal collaborator in 4 funded projects totaling over $AUD 2M. Advising: No formal students listed but actively collaborates with multidisciplinary teams including Prof. Anderson and Dr. Manousakis.
