Scholia has a profile for Julia Horsfield (Q41646643).

Julia Anne Horsfield is a New Zealand biochemist and developmental geneticist. She is professor of pathology at the University of Otago and director of Genetics Otago[1] and the Otago Zebrafish Facility.[2]

Academic career[edit]

Horsfield has a BSc from Victoria University of Wellington (1984–1988) and a PhD from the University of Otago (1992–1995). She moved to Australia as research fellow of the University of Adelaide (1996–1999), then returned to New Zealand as a research fellow at the University of Auckland (1999–2007). She joined the University of Otago in 2007 where she set up the Otago Zebrafish Facility[3] to research cancer, stem cell biology and epigenetics.[4] Her work focuses on the protein cohesin and its links to leukaemia.[5]

Horsfield won a grant to research gout and how genetics affect the human body's control of uric acid.[6]

In February 2019, Horsfield was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to extend her research "using single-cell sequencing to research how cell fate decisions are controlled in the zebrafish animal model"[7] at University of California, Davis.[8]

Horsfield was promoted to full professor at the University of Otago, effective 1 February 2020.[5]
