Dr. Amy R. Dwyer is a Research Fellow at the Dame Roma Mitchell Cancer Research Laboratories (DRMCRL), Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide. In 2016 Dr Dwyer was awarded her PhD at the University of Western Australia under the supervision of Dr. Fiona J. Pixley, PhD, MBBS. Her research project was focused on elucidating Src Family Kinase signaling in tumour-associated macrophages (TAM) and how they mediate TAM motility; this work resulted in 4 first author and 3 co-author peer-reviewed publications. Dr. Dwyer subsequently undertook Postdoctoral Research training at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center, under the guidance of Dr. Carol A. Lange, PhD. Here, Dr. Dwyer focused on steroid and growth factor receptor signaling as part of unexpected or unique transcriptional complexes in breast cancer progression. In 2019 Dr. Dwyer moved to the DRMCRL where she continues to work on steroid receptor signaling in breast biology and cancer.
