Bailey Deverell

I am currently a PhD candidate in the School of Biomedicine, working within the Bone and Joint Osteoimmunology Laboratory and the Cancer Treatment Toxicities Group (CTTG). I am supervised by Associate Professor Tania Crotti, Professor Joanne Bowen and Dr Bonnie Williams. My research interest encompasses both cancer and musculoskeletal health research areas, focusing on understanding the effect of breast cancer chemotherapy treatments on bone health, including the phenomenon of cancer treatment-induced bone loss and associated skeletal-related events. Another focus of my research is understanding the emerging gut-bone axis and how the gut microbiome can influence the skeletal outcomes in patients with breast cancer.
With a strong interest in undergraduate teaching, I teach into multiple courses within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences as a tutor and demonstrator.
