Rippei Hayashi 44th Lorne Genome Conference 2023

Rippei Hayashi

Hayashi is a group leader and senior lecturer at the John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU. After his PhD in Japan, Hayashi did his first postdoc with David Ish-Horowicz in London to study the mechanism of body axis formation during Drosophila oocyte development and conducted an EMS mutagenesis screen (G3, 2014, PMID: 24531791). Hayashi moved to Vienna to work with Julius Brennecke, and characterised the identified mutations, revealing novel mechanisms of pre-mRNA splicing and small RNA biogenesis (G&D, 2014, PMID: 25081352; Nature, 2016, PMID: 27851737). Since his independence in 2018, Hayashi continues to study aspects of germline-specific gene regulation in Drosophila, including Piwi-interacting RNA-guided transposon silencing (PLoS Biol, 2023, PMID: 37279192; EMBO Reports, 2026, PMID: 41922845), testis-specific transcription (G&D, 2024, PMID: 39332828), and intestinal stem cell regeneration (Cell Reports, 2026, PMID: 41894395).
