About me

Dr Parvathy Venugopal is an early career researcher who has been working in the field of haematology within the Genetics and Molecular Pathology department at the Centre for Cancer Biology where she commenced her PhD in September 2012. She completed her PhD, conferred by the University of Adelaide, in December 2016 under the guidance of Prof. Hamish S Scott, Dr Christopher Hahn and Dr Manuela Klingler-Hoffmann. The major body of work of her PhD focussed on bone marrow failure disorders such as Diamond Blackfan Anaemia and GATA2 associated bone marrow failure, leading to high impact publications in Leukemia and Haematologica. Prior to her PhD, she completed a Masters’ degree in stem cell biology and gained extensive... Read more
