Pioneering Excellence in Scientific Innovation

Transforming the way gynaecological diseases are prevented, treated and cured.

The lab aims to:
Advance innovative research in gynaecological diseases
Translate laboratory discoveries into clinical solutions for better health outcomes
Meet the Team
-
I am a Professor and Director of the Centre for Gynaecological Diseases, where I lead a transdisciplinary team advancing solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in women’s health. Our centre is internationally recognised for pioneering research into the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving gynaecological diseases.
-
Postdoctoral Fellow: My major expertise is applying mass spectrometry-based proteomics as a powerful tool to study protein profiles of diseased and normal tissues. By comparing protein profiles of diseased and normal tissues, new protein biomarkers for early diagnosis or developing new drug treatments can be uncovered.
