Ulrike Schumann

Dr. Ulrike Schumann is a Research Fellow at the Australian National University (ANU), affiliated with the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) and the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience. She holds key roles in the Shine-Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation and the Division of Neuroscience. Her research focuses on non-coding RNAs, particularly miRNAs, in retinal degeneration, cancer biology, and epigenetic mechanisms.

She completed a PhD in Microbiology and a Master's in Biotechnology. Her work spans translational medical research, including studies on RNA biomarkers for disease diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. Dr. Schumann collaborates with the Natoli Group (Clear Vision Research Lab) and Wen Group (Computational Biology of RNAs).

Her recent publications emphasize miRNA roles in retinal degeneration, DNA damage in tumors, and innovative biosensor technologies for point-of-care diagnostics. Collaborative efforts include epigenetic studies in cancer and RNA methylation analyses.

Dr. Schumann is registered to supervise research students but currently lists no advisees. Her research integrates computational biology, molecular genetics, and translational medicine to address unmet clinical needs in vision science and oncology.
