Personal profile
Biography
After completing her PhD studies in Adelaide (1999) and conducting postdoctoral research at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in (2000-2007), Dr Quinn established her laboratory at the University of Melbourne in 2007. In 2016 Dr Quinn relocated to the John Curtin School of Medical Research (ANU, Canberra) to establish the Drosophila Cancer Models Group in the Department of Cancer Biology and Therapeutics.
Qualifications
1999 PhD, School of Medicine, Flinders University of South Australia.
Research Interests
Prof. Quinn’s research uses Drosophila molecular genetic approaches to determine how transcriptional networks integrate extra- and intracellular signalling inputs to drive tissue growth. Deciphering pathways controlling growth during normal development provides an avenue to understanding dysregulation of these networks in cancer.
