Researcher biography
I completed my PhD at the Institute for Molecular Biology at UQ and have ~10 years experience in biochemistry and cell biology. I am currently a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the lab of A Prof Fiona Simpson at UQ Frazer Institute, TRI. My current research interests are focussed on intracellular protein trafficking, in particular how this relates to monoclonal antibody therapies and biomarkers for cancer treatment with overall aspirations to improve patient outcomes. I lead Simpson lab teams involved in translating this work into clinical trials and analysing how drug pharmacokinetics can be improved.
