Brooke completed her PhD at Monash University within the Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) under the supervision of Professor Gail Risbridger in early 2019. During her candidature she studied tumour-stroma interactions in localised prostate cancer using tissue engineering and quantitative mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. Brooke is now a post-doctoral Research Officer at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, where she is investigating novel stromal targets in pancreatic cancer under the supervision of Professor Paul Timpson. She is using a range of cutting-edge techniques such as patient-derived xenografting (PDX), LC-MS/MS, MALDI imaging and advanced microscopy to study the stroma of both murine and human pancreatic tumours. Brooke is a Conjoint Associate Lecturer in the Faulty of Medicine at UNSW.
