Biography
Gabrielle Wilson completed her BSc (Hons) at the University of Melbourne and subsequently worked as a research assistant at Monash Medical Centre before joining the Bruce Lefroy Centre in 2004. In 2006 Gabrielle was awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Dora Lush Biomedical Research scholarship to undertake her PhD investigating the genetic and molecular pathways underlying male infertility. While undertaking her PhD Gabrielle received several national and international awards, including the Society for Reproductive Biology New Investigator Award. Following the completion of her PhD in 2009, Gabrielle was awarded a NHMRC grant to continue research into proteins involved in ciliary disease. Gabrielle has recently expanded her research by joining the Accelerated Gene Identification Program (AGIP) which aims to identify and characterise disease-causing genes underlying rare genetic disorders. As part of AGIP, Gabrielle's research focuses on neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's Disease and is supported by Parkinson's Disease Foundation funding.
