About me
Dr King (previously O'Doherty) is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences.
She coordinates Pharmacology 2 and is a Research Education Portfolio Leader (REPL).
Dr King completed her undergraduate Master of Pharmacy Degree at Queen's University, Belfast, and her subsequent pre-registration training with Boots The Chemists, Edinburgh, as a student of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. She returned to Queen's University, Belfast in 2004 to undertake a PhD examining the genetics of susceptibility to multiple sclerosis and pharmacogenomics of interferon beta treatment in multiple sclerosis patients. As part of this CAST award studentship, Catherine also had the unique opportunity of working with her sponsor company, Biogen Idec in Cambridge, MA. She has worked with neurologists from various centres across Australia to identify genetic variations which may determine responsiveness to interferon beta treatment in MS patients. Besides her main research focus on MS genetics/pharmacogenomics, Dr King is also interested in rheumatoid arthritis genetics and pharmacogenomics.
