Molecular control of lymphatic vesselsLymphatic vessels play diverse roles in tissue function and disease. Tumour secreted growth factors promote the formation of lymphatics (lymphangiogenesis) and metastasize via new lymphatic... Read more

Organ size control is a fundamental biological progress that has been relatively poorly studied compared to many other aspects of developmental biology. As well as specifying the size of all the creatures on our planet, size... Read more

The fruit fly Drosophila is used to study how organ size is maintained and how metabolism can shape organ growth. Some of the questions we are addressing in our lab are:How is differentiation maintained in the developing... Read more

Cell death programs are crucial processes in development, tissue homeostasis and immunity. ‘Too much’ cell death can lead to neurodegenerative and immune diseases and ‘too little’ cell death causes cancer. Consequently,... Read more

All testing provided by the Molecular Pathology Laboratory is accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) Australia. Genetic characterisation enabled by cancer genomics assists clinicians in choosing... Read more

We work closely with geneticists, genetic counsellors and oncologists to determine whether cancer patients, at-risk family members or unaffected patients with a family history of cancer have an underlying genetic cause for their... Read more
