Carly Whyte is an early-career researcher with expertise in the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying immune-mediated pathology. Her research focuses on understanding how our immune systems can recognise and respond to cancer, with a view towards developing new immunotherapies for patients with solid tumours. She is supported by a Passe and Williams Junior Fellowship.
Dr Whyte holds a PhD in Immunology from the University of Adelaide, during which she discovered a previously unknown regulator of immune cell migration into tumours called ACKR4. She was then appointed as a postdoctoral research scientist at the Babraham Institute, Cambridge, UK and a Research Associate at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge. During this... Read more

Carly Whyte is an early-career researcher with expertise in the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying immune-mediated pathology. Her research focuses on understanding how our immune systems can recognise and respond to cancer, with a view towards developing new immunotherapies for patients with solid tumours. She is supported by a Passe and Williams Junior Fellowship.
Dr Whyte holds a PhD in Immunology from the University of Adelaide, during which she discovered a previously unknown regulator of immune cell migration into tumours called ACKR4. She was then appointed as a postdoctoral research scientist at the Babraham Institute, Cambridge, UK and a Research Associate at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge. During this postdoctoral training with Prof. Adrian Liston, Dr Whyte elucidated signaling networks of the cytokine IL-2, discovering novel mechanisms of action for this protein and identifying new regulatory networks which explained some of the common side-effects of therapeutic use of IL-2.
