Amy Nisselle

I am a genetics education and evaluation expert, with over 20 years international experience in research and development. I'm a leader and collaborator on genomic medicine research and implementation, conducting mixed-methods research and applying insights to develop genomics education and training to develop the clinical, diagnostic and data science workforces. I recently completed large state and national genomics workforce development programs in Australia, and advise into numerous other local and international programs.
 
I have a doctorate in multimedia genetics education, with over 2500 citations of my publications in health, science and education research. I've worked in Australia, the United States and UK, first in population-based genetic screening then research and delivery of medical and genetics education in primary, secondary and tertiary education, continuing professional education and public sectors.
 
I convened the Genomics Education Network of Australasia, was Co-Chair of the Human Genetics Society of Australasia’s Education, Ethics & Social Issues Committee, and a member of several international genomics initiatives.
 
I'm based at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, with honorary Principal Fellow roles at Universities of Melbourne and Queensland.
 
I supervise graduate research students in genetics/genomics education and counselling, with over 35 students to date.
