About

Helen started working in the Colorectal Cancer Research Group in 2017.

Helen commenced her PhD in 2013 in the Surgical Sciences Research Group under the supervision of Dr Paul Drew and Dr Eric Smith. Her studies were supported by a scholarship from the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Adelaide. Her thesis title was “Fibroblasts, androgen signalling and oesophageal adenocarcinoma”.
