I joined the Institute in January 2019 to establish a new team to work on one of the most difficult to treat blood cancers in children: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL). A molecular and cellular biologist with over 10 years’ experience researching blood cancers, with a unique skill set combined with a passion to see my research make a difference in people’s lives.

‘Children with T-ALL are high-risk and so receive a very intensive chemotherapy regimen. Many of these children suffer long-term effects of this aggressive treatment and can also develop a treatment-induced secondary cancer. There is therefore a great need for targeted therapies to be developed that can minimise these effects.’

Before joining the Institute, I worked at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology in Belgium, where my research focused on understanding the molecular biology of leukaemia. Here, I developed expertise in a number of cutting-edge technologies including next-generation sequencing and genome editing.

As Team Leader in the Functional Genomics of Leukaemia Group, I am focused on developing highly specialised mouse models that will be used to improve our understanding of how T-ALL develops, as well as to study the efficacy of newly developed therapies.

To date, my research has resulted in 59 peer-reviewed publications, many of which are in high-impact journals such as Cancer Cell, Cancer DIscovery and Leukemia. I have also given numerous international presentations, including as an invited plenary speaker, and hold an appointment as Conjoint Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine at UNSW Sydney.

Personalised anti-cancer therapies have the potential to transform cancer treatments. 

We now appreciate that at diagnosis, patients with T-cell leukaemia have more than 10 mutations. Some of these mutations will be sufficient to cause leukaemia, but the role of the majority of these mutations remains unknown. 

My research program is focussed on defining the functional role for mutations found in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. We utilise a “functional genomics” approach, that is creating in vitro and in vivo mouse models of T-cell leukaemia using clinically relevant mutations, to identify the key proteins and signalling pathways that should be targeted to control the disease. 

This knowledge on which proteins and mutations are essential to drive the growth and survival of leukaemia cells will significantly improve our ability to use targeted agents based on an individual’s mutation signature.
