Ben is Executive Dean of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Adelaide. His PhD was conducted at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, under the supervision of Professors Warren Alexander and Douglas Hilton. Graduating in 2001, Ben pursued postdoctoral studies with Professor Monica Justice at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, USA. In 2004 he returned to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, joining the faculty in 2005, and being appointed an independent laboratory head in 2008. After jointly leading the institute's ACRF Chemical Biology Division from 2014-2017, Ben took up the position of Head, Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, within the Biomedicine Discovery Institute at Monash University. In October 2019 he moved to the University of Adelaide.
The Kile lab's research has focused primarily on the molecular regulation of blood cell formation and function, at steady state, and in disease settings such as inflammation and leukemia. We have a deep interest in the role programmed cell death pathways play in these processes, and how the cell death machinery mediates the response to pathophysiological insults such as cancer chemotherapy. Our work has contributed to understanding the survival of platelets – the tiny cells that mediate blood clotting – and informed the clinical development of a new class of cancer drugs called the BH3 mimetics. We have identified critical roles for the cell death machinery in suppressing innate immune signalling, suggesting new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of viral infections and cancer.
