School of Clinical Medicine

Dr Qian Du’s research focuses on understanding the influence of DNA replication timing on the genome and epigenome in breast and prostate cancer. Dr. Du completed her Bachelors of Science (Hons) at the University of Melbourne, followed by a PhD from University of New South Wales. Dr. Du is now an early career postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Susan Clark in the Genomics and Epigenetics Division at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. In 2020, Dr. Du received a National Health and Medical Research Council Investigator Grant Fellowship to further her work on the relationships between DNA replication timing and the epigenome, specifically focusing on the 3D organisation of the genome.
