Claire Homan

Adelaide Medical School

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

Dr Homan is a research fellow at the Centre for Cancer Biology, with a strong track-record of multi-disciplinary research spanning human genetics, genomics, haematological malignancies and developmental biology. Her research has provided impactful contributions to understanding genetic disease mechanisms including clinical, genetic, and functional evidence of novel-gene pathogenicity. Dr. Homan’s research in inherited haematological malignancies has a focus on elucidating biological mechanisms driving disease progression and development to apply a personalised-medicine approach to patient care. Her overarching objective is to develop novel clinical interventions for enhanced monitoring, prevention, and therapy. Dr. Homan is pioneering work into the characterisation of genetic mouse models of predisposition to MDS/AML and developing translational models for the development of novel therapies.
