研究领域

I have established three primary research areas:1) Elucidation of the role of high risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) E6 transformation protein in the degradation of p53 and in the immortalisation/transformation of human keratinocytes; 2) Identification of viruses which may be involved in hormonally responsive cancer (including breast and prostate); 3) Threshold concepts in biology education. I completed my MSc (Med) (1992) and PhD (1996) in the laboratory of Roger Reddel (Children's Medical Research Institute). While working as a Postdoctoral fellow (1995–2000) in the laboratory of Harald zur Hausen (German Cancer Research Centre. Nobel Laureate 2008) and then with Martin Scheffner (University of Konstanz, Germany), I focused on establishing the role (and mechanisms) of high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) E6 transformation protein in the immortalisation and eventual carcinogenic transformation of human cells. Since establishing my laboratory at UNSW in 2000, my focus has expanded to establishing a role for viruses in a number of different human cancers.
