Biography

 I am a cancer epidemiologist, and Deputy Director of the Daffodil Centre, a joint venture between Cancer Council NSW and the University of Sydney, in Sydney, Australia. I am also a Faculty member of the Melanoma Institute Australia, where I co-lead the ‘Prevention, Risk and Clinical Detection’ research theme. I am currently the recipient of a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Investigator Grant. I completed a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts at the University of Queensland, Australia, in 1998, and subsequently a Master of Public Health (Honours) degree from The University of Sydney in 2002. I worked in perinatal research and clinical trials at The University of Sydney before completing a Ph.D. in cancer epidemiology from 2004-2007, under a cotutelle agreement between the University of Sydney and the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France, where I was based with the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer. Subsequently, I obtained an NHMRC postdoctoral fellowship working on the genetic epidemiology of melanoma at the University of Melbourne. I returned to Sydney in 2011 to continue my research in collaboration with the University of Sydney and Melanoma Institute Australia, and in 2021 I joined the new Daffodil Centre, which is one of the University’s Flagship research centres. My research interests are predominantly in skin cancer etiology, prevention, and early detection, including risk-stratified approaches to care, with a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary, translational, and implementation research. I led the Australian sunbed research that was instrumental in informing government bans on commercial solaria now in effect across all states of Australia, and in 2015, I received an inaugural Sax Institute Research Action Award to recognize this research and its impact on health policy. In 2018, I received the NSW Premier’s Award for Outstanding Cancer Research Fellow of the Year. I have expertise in epidemiology, clinical trials, observational studies, and qualitative research
