Summary

Clinically trained cancer biologist with over 14 years of medical and research experience, specializing in immuno-oncology, epigenetics, and translational research. As a PhD candidate at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, I provide medical and technical expertise in disease modeling (3D organoids, scRNA-seq) and biomarker discovery for oncology. Skilled in medical regulation and reimbursement strategies, with awareness of the Medicines Australia Code, gained through active engagement in Melbourne’s biotech ecosystem (e.g., Jumar Masterclass). Currently upskilling in AI and data analytics (University of Melbourne, Google) to enhance disease awareness initiatives, with a long-term vision to found a precision oncology startup.

Innovative technology professional with several years of diverse experience. Skilled in enhancing systems and aligning technical solutions with business objectives. Proven success in leading projects from start to finish and contributing to organizational growth and success.
