Greg Neely
Regular biography
Greg Neely is a Professor at The University of Sydney, Department of BIO. His research interests include cell metabolism, clinical sciences, biochemistry and cell biology, cell development, proliferation and death, signal transduction, endocrinology, and infectious diseases. His work focuses on identifying novel human disease genes and pathways, particularly in age-related diseases involving the nervous system, such as pain, neurodegeneration, and strategies to extend lifespan while maintaining overall health. The group employs functional genomics approaches, including whole genome CRISPR screening in human cells, as well as transgenic knock out mice and tissue-specific gene targeting in fruit flies.
Scholar-generated biography
Graham Gregory Neely is a researcher at the Charles Perkins Center, University of Sydney, specializing in functional genomics. His work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying various physiological processes and diseases, with a focus on oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Neely's research integrates genomic and genetic approaches to investigate conditions such as acute lung injury, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. His studies also examine the role of gut microbiota in behavior and metabolism, as well as the genetic basis of pain and immune responses. Through genome-wide screens in model organisms like Drosophila, Neely contributes to understanding gene function and its implications in human health.
