My research passion is understanding the role of sphingolipids in ovarian cancer. Using my skills in biochemistry, enzymology, assay development drug discovery and pre-clinical testing, my research aims to identify and validate novel therapeutics for ovarian cancer. I am a Research leader in the Robinson Research Institute and member of the Australia and New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG).I have recently developed a panel of patient derived xenograft models for serous epithelial ovarian cancer that allows us to test new treatments.I am a passionate educator and since joining the University Adelaide in 2021 I have designed, delivered and coordinated courses and established my own research laboratory. I enjoy my role in training and mentoring students to build foundational knowledge and key transferable skills that will help them succeed. In my role as interim Academic Director of Haide College I led a team that delivered course builds for an international education program. Key to my University and research roles, I have built strong project management and communication skills to drive uplift activities and build a collaborative research environment.
