About the lab

Our specific research interests include:

* Tumour biomarker research to predict cancer behaviour
* Blood biomarker research, including prospective randomised trials, to better define risk of recurrence after surgery and to improve treatment selection
* Laboratory models, including testing miniature cancers derived from patient biopsies, to predict response to treatment
* Collecting comprehensive patient, treatment and outcome data to better measure quality and to identify opportunities for improved cancer treatment
* Registry based clinical trials to improve and optimise use of available therapies
* Interventional Clinical Trials partnering with cooperative groups such as the AGITG and others looking at interventional therapies and providing all aspects of clinical trials management.

Our mission

The Gibbs Lab team strive to positively impact the outcomes for all patients through its work in data registries, registry trials, blood biomarkers, organoids development, clinical trials and quality tools, translating basic research into clinical applications that can better serve cancer patients.

Lab research projects

Lab team

The Gibbs Lab has been established with clinical leads for each of the tumour types to undertake translational research work to bridge the gap between science and clinical practice.

Each clinician is heavily involved in patient care and is well supported by a team that includes Research Fellows, Research Study Coordinators, Project Managers, Research Nurses and Clinical Project Officers. As well as support from Laboratory manager Maria Edmonds, Data Analysts Julie Johns, Biostatistician Wei Hong, Ethics and Governance team Evelyn Yip and Kristen Kiratzis and Admin support Soula Vissaris, Liz Jessup.

All tissue-based research is in collaboration with scientists within and outside of WEHI.
