Starting a little corner of the internet to share my PostDoc journey in Brain Cancer Immunotherapy! Following along for too many coffees, some cool experiments and to see what a life in research is like!

Honoured to be part of the incredible team Jenkins at WEHI, The Brain Cancer Centre and team Hulett at LIMS. Proud to help reframe the tumour microenvironment as something we can outsmart! Loved working with all of you, please have a read!

A study has found a promising new way to attack high-grade gliomas (HGG), by targeting the cells surrounding a tumour.
The brilliant findings, led by @drmistyjenkins, @thezoeday and Dr Ryan Cross are now published in Nature’s npj Precision Oncology.

ALT This image of a paediatric brain shows collagen (in green), which is a key part of the ECM, with healthy brain (in pink and purple). Researchers hope that targeting components like this that surround a tumour could open new pathways for immunotherapies to better reach and attack cancers.
It's online! The final piece of work from my PhD has now been published in njp Precision Oncology! Here, we redefine the extracellular matrix (ECM) as a targetable immunological niche in brain cancer - I'm very excited about this one, go have a read!

After years of experiments — I’ve officially submitted my PhD thesis! It’s been an incredible journey training across both La Trobe University and WEHI. Thanks to everyone who supported me - Now, onto the next chapter! #CancerResearch #WomenInSTEM
Hi all! Next week I am flying to Hobart to run Elder's Point to Pinnacle to help raise funds for Carrie's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation. If you are able, please help me reach my fund raising goal, every dollar counts!

It may be belated but any excuse to get together and enjoy cake. Happy birthday @thezoeday @latrobe @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe
Last week I was invited back to my old school, Suzanne Cory High School, alongside Professor Cory herself. I was honoured to share my PhD journey and was inspired to hear about Professor Cory’s career, I hope we were able to inspire the next generation of researchers!
My second paper from my PhD is now online! Here I describe a novel ferroptosis inducer, GS-9 from @WintermuteBio ! Thanks to everyone that was involved in this project especially @_drfosh and @HulettLab! Go have a read: mdpi.com/2776914 @Biomol_MDPI

Well done to PhD candidate Zoe Day (@thezoeday) for receiving one of the inaugural ‘Samantha Hollier-James Scholarships’ - a $10,000 @tourdecure_aus PhD Grant to help fund aspirational cancer research!
Zoe's research aims to help fight cancer by targeting Glioblastoma cells.

Thank you @TheASMR1 for the opportunity to present some of my PhD work on GS-9, a novel ferroptosis inducer, at #ASMRSS23! What a great day hearing about so many exciting projects!
Ending on a high note!!
Congratulations to all the speakers from our final oral session of the day! Fantastic talks all around! #ASMRSS23

First year (and a bit) of my PhD completed! Now officially a second year after passing my confirmation today! Thank you to everyone involved, excited to see where the next few years takes me with these exciting projects!
Congrats @thezoeday on a fab PhD confirmation seminar and update of your exciting work on small molecule & CAR T cell-based approaches to cancer therapy. @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe @latrobe

Today is International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day #ICCD2023 I wanted to highlight some of the cool research and researchers I have had the pleaseure to meet/work with/read about here in Australia
It's online! My 1st co-first author paper! Work presented in 'Novel Formulation of Undecylenic Acid Induces Tumor Cell Apoptosis' is from my honours year and my PhD looking at a novel anti-cancer compound from @WintermuteBio! Check it out! mdpi.com/1948840 via @IJMS_MDPI
Thank you to everyone that was involved in this project @jpsantavanond @Scootenburg @yuning_hong and especially @_drfosh and @HulettLab !

Another fantastic #celldeath presentation from @thezoeday at @ComBio2022! Exploring the fascinating world of ferroptosis and sharing her work inducing death in cancer cells with arachidonic acid 👏 Well done Zoe! @HulettLab @LIMSLTU
Just presented at my first ever conference! Thank you @ComBio2022 for the opportunity to present my work on a novel formulation of arachidonic acid and its ability to induce ferroptosis in cancer cells🧪A great opportunity this early in my research career! #combio22 #ferroptosis
