Research & Innovation

Esther has a research background in progenitor cell biology, migration and differentiation during development and tissue remodelling in vertebrates. She joined the Mesenchymal Stem Cell Research Group in 2013 after having worked as a post-doctoral scientist in Australia, Spain and the UK. Her work focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms that control mesenchymal stem/progenitor cell (MSC) proliferation and differentiation during cranial development. The projects she developed included; investigating the role of the transcription factor Twist-1 and microRNAs in skeletal bone derived MSC and cranial cells. She also led a number of pre-clinical trials investigating the efficiency and safety of drugs to prevent abnormal cranial suture fusion.

In 2022 she took up the position of Senior Research Development Specialist within Research Services. In this role she specialises in all areas of grant development support and management for Category 1 grants and fellowships offered by National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), Snow Medical and Australian Cancer Research Foundation. She contributes to the planning and delivery of educational workshops and drop-in sessions outlining the important elements to consider when applying for grant and fellowship opportunities. She also provides one on one strategic advice on specific grant opportunities, preparing resources to assist researchers with writing their application, providing high-quality proposal development and review.
