Alex Essebier completed her undergraduate degrees in Science (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) and Information Technology at the University of Queensland in 2013 then continued her studies and completed her Master of Bioinformatics in 2015. Alex has undertaken a number of research projects over the last three years as part of Mikael Bodén?s group at UQ. Her main focus is on the use of probabilistic models, specifically Bayesian networks, to analyse high-throughput genomic datasets. She is currently enrolled as a PhD student investigating the application of probabilistic models to the integration of datasets relevant to transcriptional regulation such as chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing and RNA sequencing.
