Project opportunity
This Earmarked Scholarship project is aligned with a recently awarded Category 1 research grant. It offers you the opportunity to work with leading researchers and contribute to large projects of national significance.
This project will investigate the importance of immune response in the development of lymphoma and the changes that occur in patients blood that either enhance or suppress the response to the chosen therapy. The laboratory is the main translational lab for several national clinical trials in lymphoma and has an extensive network of local and international collaborators.The student will undertake in-depth analysis using novel techniques to understand the importance of immune mechanisms in lymphoma and how this could be augmented to improve patient outcome. The student will learn how to process samples from clinical specimens and run gene expression, mutation and immunological assays to understand the immune environment of lymphoma. This will require the student to develop significant bioinformatic skills.
