@Hudson Institute of Medical Research
Dr Catherine Carmichael is Head of the Leukaemia Modelling and Therapeutic Discovery Research group within the Centre for Cancer Research at Hudson Institute, and a Victorian Cancer Agency Mid-Career Research Fellow. As a molecular cancer biologist, Dr Carmichael’s research focuses on identifying key molecular mechanisms driving Acute Leukaemia development that may be therapeutically targetable. Dr Carmichael obtained her PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2008, where she studied genetic predispositions to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) with Professors Hamish Scott and Gordon Smyth at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI). Following her PhD studies, Catherine received a Leukaemia Foundation of Australia Fellowship to continue her postdoctoral work at WEHI with Professor Benjamin Kile, investigating the role of the ETS-related gene ERG in blood stem cell development and AML (2008-2013).
