Nir Eynon
Nir is a Professor and Group Leader at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, Monash University. He earned his PhD degree with high distinction in 2010 from Porto University, Portugal. His areas of expertise epigenetics, ageing and exercise, an area for which he won the Young Tall Poppy 2021 award. His expertise has been recognised by being selected to the ARC College of Experts in 2023. He is a NHMRC Investigator Fellow (2021-2025), a former NHMRC Career Development Fellow (2018-2021), and ARC DECRA Fellow (2014-2016). He has published more than 115 manuscripts in high-impact journals (e.g. Nature Reviews Genetics, Genome Biology, Aging Cell, Nat Comms,).
The Eynon Group is interested in the study of epigenetics and other molecules associated with healthy aging and exercise. The group investigates the role of epigenetics in ageing and exercise adaptations, as well as sex differences in response to exercise. The lab uses a combination of wet-lab and bioinformatics analyses, with a particular focus on ‘omics’ datasets including DNA methylation, transcriptomics and proteomics
