As head of an internationally-recognised research team of scientists and clinicians working on prostate cancer and andrology-related projects, she’s one of Australia’s leading prostate cancer researchers, with particular interest in the biology of stromal-epithelial cell interactions in normal and tumour tissue using tissue recombination, animal and human specimens. She pioneered the use of stem cells for recombination studies combining stem cell biology with endocrinology.
She’s a distinguished professor at Monash University and Sir Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne. Her multidisciplinary program is centred on using patient specimens to improve translation of research discoveries to the clinic.
