Staff Specialist, Canberra Hospital
Associate Professor, ANU Medical School
I am a physician scientist working full time as staff specialist in the department of Haematology at Canberra Hospital. I obtained my fellowships for RACP and RCPA in 2006-07 and completed a PhD at ANU (2006-2009). I have a Specialist Certificate in Clinical Research from Melbourne University.
I effectively set up the Haematology Research Tissue Bank, a repository of peripheral blood, bone marrow and primary tissue samples from patients with haematological and related disorders, and have been managing this for 6 years.
Over the last 2 years I have gradually built a team of staff and collaborators to support a lymphoma research program. Our Haematology Translational Research Unit at Canberra Hospital supports medical and research students.
The Haematology Translational Research Unit at the Canberra Hospital is mainly involved with translational research projects in lymphoproliferative disorders including lymphoma and myeloma. Our particular areas of interest lie in
1. determining the cellular origin of lymphoma using a combination of sophisticated flow cytometry and cell sorting, genotyping and ultra deep sequencing techniques,
2. etsablishing links between autoimmunity and lymphoma and
3. determining mechanisms of spread of lymphoproliferative disorders to extranodal tissues especially the bone marrow.
Most of our projects involve work on archived human tissue samples stored at the Haematology Research Tissue Bank.
