Aussie Woman & Scientist 👩🏼🔬 WEHI Postdoc - Cell Death - Public Speaking
Melbourne, Victoria
Joined February 2018
Hot off the press! 🔥 In our latest @NatureComms paper, we used in vivo imaging to track EV formation in the bone marrow microenvironment. We found that circulating EVs correlates with tissue damage caused by leukemias like AML! @WEHI_research @latrobe @AusCellDeathSoc
Researchers have made a critical discovery that could help develop a future blood test to potentially monitor the level of tissue damage in patients with diseases like #cancer. https://t.co/y4ycrod3GR 🧵1/2

Sexist idiots failed so badly at dunking on her for her thesis they made it the most downloaded research in her field in 100 years. I love an ironic Christmas miracle.
Thrilled to say I passed my viva with no corrections and am officially PhDone.

@ARC_Tracker ARC funded many more projects this year (536) compared to last year (421) and allocated almost $120M more, from my reading. This is a massive improvement!
