Michael T. Gabbett
Michael Terrence Gabbett is an Australian clinical geneticist and academic. He is an Associate Professor at both Queensland University of Technology and Griffith University. Gabbett is known for contributing to discovering the genetic basis of semi-identical (sesquizygotic) twins and defining the clinical features and molecular cause of Temple-Baraitser syndrome. Early life
Gabbett attended high school at Marist College Ashgrove, where he was awarded the Australian Student Prize and was accepted into the University of Queensland to study medicine. Service to Science
Gabbett was joint first author on the paper that demonstrated mutations in the mismatch repair genes cause a condition similar to neurofibromatosis type 1. Gabbett and colleagues defined the oculoauriculofrontonasal syndrome. In 2015 Gabbett and his molecular genetic colleagues demonstrated the cause of Temple Baraitser syndrome, a condition that he clinically defined seven years earlier. Service to professional organisations
Gabbett has contributed to authorship of the Australasian clinical genetics training curriculum, and led the 2022 working party that made recommendations to medical schools on their genomics curriculum. For three years (2015-2018), he was chair of the scientific programme and the local organising committees (Lead Fellow) for RACP Congress, the annual scientific meeting of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. Gabbett has served as president of the Australasian Association of Clinical Geneticists (2017-2019). From 2018 to 2022, Gabbett sat on Council of the Human Genetics Society of Australasia as Treasurer. References
