Including Q&A session
 

Dr Clare Weeden is a new Laboratory Head in the Personalised Oncology Division at WEHI, studying the impact of climate change upon respiratory health, including lung cancers. She completed her PhD and postdoctoral studies at WEHI with Prof Marie-Liesse Asselin-Labat and Prof Daniel Gray, supported by a Lung Foundation Australia Early Career Fellowship and Cure Cancer/Cancer Australia project grant. Dr Weeden was then awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie/European Respiratory Society Postdoctoral Fellowship to join the laboratory of Prof Charles Swanton at the Francis Crick Institute in London before returning to WEHI to start her lab.

Clare’s research centres upon the mechanisms regulating lung epithelial stem cell fates in response to the inhaled environment, with the aim of designing new early detection and intervention strategies for respiratory diseases.

All welcome!
