| - | Mathew was born in Australia in 1977 and developed a love for nature at a young age after watching too many David Attenborough wildlife documentaries. He completed a Bachelor of Science (BSc) (1995-1998) degree with Honours at Macquarie University in Sydney, majoring in molecular ecology and conservation genetics. In 1999 Mathew moved to Monash University in Melbourne where he helped to successfully develop a non-invasive sampling technique with Andrea Taylor and Paul Sunnucks, to identify individual Northern-hairy nosed wombats using microsatellite markers and DNA from single hairs. The method is now being used as part of the management strategy for this highly endangered species. In 2000 he returned to Macquarie University in Sydney where he again worked as a research assistant investigating the evolutionary genetics of aphids. Mathew then decided it was about time to discover culture and science outside of Australia and in 2002 was appointed a one year position with Linda Vigilant at the Max Planck for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. Here he used molecular biology techniques to study the social structure of chimpanzees. During his time as a technician Mathew gradually became more and more fascinated with how genes work, and in 2003 embarked on a journey to Vienna, the cultural hub of Europe, to begin his PhD in the lab of Denise Barlow. For his PhD Mathew utilised microarray technology and ‘ChIP-chip’ to study the role of histone modifications in imprinted and non-imprinted gene regulation. After taking a liking to all things Austrian, the appearance of a young and enthusiastic scientist by the name of Sebastian Nijman at CeMM in Vienna was a timely event. In 2008 he began a post-doc position in Sebastian’s lab which has provided him with an opportunity to combine modern genetic screening and epigenetic technology to elucidate mechanisms that regulate gene expression in cancer.
