I am the Director of the Department of Haematology, and one of the senior consultant haematologists at the Canberra Region Cancer Centre (CRCC), Canberra Hospital, ACT. I graduated from the University of Adelaide medical school on a merit scholarship. I completed my haematology training at the Canberra Hospital with a fellowship through the Australian National University, and an observership at MD Anderson, Texas. I am the current chair of the lymphoma multidisciplinary meeting and am active in the ALLG (Australasian Leukaemia & Lymphoma group), participating in the CLL, low grade lymphoma, CML and MPD subgroups. I am active in clinical trials and have been the principal investigator for CLL, lymphoma and CML trials within the unit.
