I am a Senior Lecturer at School of Biomedical Sciences in the University of Queensland. Following completion of my PhD training at UQ in 2010, I was recruited to Johns Hopkins University for postdoctoral training in cancer imaging. In 2011, I was then selected for the prestigious Translational Research in Multi-Disciplinary Program (TRIUMPH) Fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Over the last eight years, I have worked extensively as a cancer researcher with expertise in nanomedicine and cancer biology. I have strong knowledge in target discovery using large-scale experimental and patient databases, in vitro and in vivo validation models, nanotechnology, and molecular biology techniques for studying mechanisms of action and resistance. My research focuses on: 1) Developing novel biomimetic nanoparticle platforms for tumour-targeted delivery; 2) Developing strategies to overcome immunosuppression in cancer; and 3) Use of non-coding RNAs for cancer treatment.
