Biography

After graduating in physics, I worked for a year as a clinical physicist in radiotherapy at the Queensland Radium Institute. During this period I became convinced of the need for molecular therapies for cancer. I completed a PhD in bioinformatics in the School of Physics at UNSW. This work in structural bioinformatics attempted to map structure to function, to understand proteins as machines. For the last ten years my work has focused on using data from multiple omics platforms to enable precision medicine approaches to diagnosis and therapeutics of cancer.
