Professor Harshita Pant is a rhinologist and skull base surgeon, and research leader at the Adelaide Centre of Epigenetics (ACE), at the University of Adelaide. She heads the Adelaide University’s Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery Clinical Epigenetics Research and has a private clinical practice at Calvariam ENT.

Prof Pant is clinical lead of the Allergy and Cancer Immunology Laboratory at the Centre for Cancer Biology ((CCB) an alliance between SA Pathology and University of South Australia) and works closely with laboratory head, Dr Damon Tumes. Allergy and Cancer Immunology Laboratory - Centre for Cancer Biology

Her group’s cutting-edge academic program focuses on uncovering epigenetic mechanisms in chronic airway inflammation (allergies, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), nasal polyps and asthma) and head and neck cancer. Her goal is to develop precision diagnostics and novel treatments for these patients, including epigenetic reprogramming, using innovative multi-omic technology and AI.

Prof Pant’s research in CRS airway inflammation has resulted in significant industry collaborations, improved access to monoclonal antibody treatments in Australia for patients with severe nasal polyposis, and patents for novel steroid-sparing topical therapy for CRS patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. Her current work has led to multidisciplinary, trait-based care-models for CRS and is leading the first multi-disciplinary precision medicine clinical trial aimed at reducing oral steroid and antibiotic use in CRS/asthma patients. Healthy investment in better patient outcomes | Newsroom | University of Adelaide

Her group’s recent discoveries in cancer research highlight the role of the tumour microenvironment, in particular, cancer-associated fibroblasts in biologically aggressive disease and have identified eosinophils as new contributors to immune dysfunction in head and cancer. Overcoming immune exhaustion in recurrent head and neck cancer - Passe & Williams Foundation

Her research group is driven by curiosity, creativity, compassion, and collaboration. With a strong focus on translating discoveries into real-world impact, we offer exciting research opportunities incorporating hands-on lab work with clinical trials where students can work with renowned scientists and clinicians at the Centre for Cancer Biology (Bradley Building), the Royal Adelaide Hospital, and the University of Adelaide (ACE, Level 6, AHMS). More information about current projects can be found here Pant Research Group: Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery Clinical Epigenetics | Adelaide Centre for Epigenetics (ACE) | University of Adelaide

Our projects are ideal for both undergraduate and postgraduate students from clinical and science backgrounds. We welcome highly motivated individuals who are passionate about research, embracing diverse perspectives and varying levels of experience—including those new to the field. With a proven track record in HDR supervision, we are committed to fostering a dynamic, nurturing, and inspiring environment where students can learn, explore, and excel.
