About

I am a medical oncologist at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and clinical research fellow at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute. My areas of expertise are gastrointestinal cancers and cancers of unknown primary.

My research focus is on the use of real-world data to examine treatment and outcomes in routine practice, facilitate research and improve the quality of care for patients. Over the past 10 years, I have been involved in running a large multi-centre registry collecting comprehensive treatment and outcome data for colorectal cancer. I also led the implementation of the registry-based randomised trials program as part of the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre’s research initiative, examining the feasibility of this pragmatic clinical trial approach to increase trial participation for cancer patients. I am currently part of a team of investigators working on a new model of care to support the earlier diagnosis of cancers of unknown primary.
