Dr Mercer continues research at the Garvan Institute, with interests in genome and RNA biology (noncoding RNAs, gene organization, expression and splicing), and bioinformatic and sequencing innovations. He has also undertaken research at the Broad Institute (Boston), Max Planck (Dresden) and Centre for Genome Regulation
