Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Prior to moving to UniSA I gained extensive real-world experience as a medical laboratory scientist in haematology, transfusion medicine and haemostasis including senior scientist and managerial roles. I have a PhD in Medicine from the University of Western Australia and am a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Medical and Clinical Scientists (AIMS). I coordinate haematology and clinical practice courses in the Laboratory Medicine Program in Clinical and Health Sciences. As a member of the AIMS Program Accreditation Council I am involved with accreditation of Laboratory Medicine programs across Australia. My research is currently focussed on identifying contributors to thrombosis in haematological cancer.

Haematological malignancy and thrombosis, Platelet microparticle activity, Thrombin generation assays for the assessment of haemostasis, Global tests of haemostasis, New Diagnostic Tests and therapies,Thrombosis and bleeding disorders, Fibrin clot stability, Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
