About me
Working within the Molecular Pathology Research Laboratory, led by Professor Hamish Scott, I am involved in a national collaborative effort to bring precision medicine to patients recruited into molecular screening trials by facilitating cutting edge comprehensive genomic profiling of tumours and identifying clinically actionable mutations in these tumours. Building on my extensive research and diagnostic experience, and expanding on the large range of skills I had acquired over 20 years in molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics, my keen interest in developing my career motivated me to complete a Master of Diagnostic Genomics degree (awarded in 2021) through the Queensland University of Technology. My interest and motivation was further demonstrated when I joined the Human Genetics Society of Australasia (HGSA) SA Branch committee in 2019, and I enjoy actively playing a part in the Australasian genetics community through this committee. I am a passionate genomic scientist, work with an outstanding team of technicians, scientists and clinicians, and continue to contribute to collaborative efforts between research and diagnostics in a pursuit to better understand disease processes and ultimately improve patient outcomes
