Dr Laura Eadie is a mid-career researcher having completed her PhD in Medicine in 2013 with a Dean’s Commendation. Laura’s research has always centred on translating laboratory findings to improve patient outcomes. She has spent ten+ years researching modes of resistance to chronic myeloid leukaemia drugs with her efforts resulting in nine first-author publications and presentations at over 25 national and international meetings. She is the tenth recipient of the Peter Nelson Leukaemia Research Fellowship and her research now focuses on high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). She is a passionate science communicator and advocate for women in STEM careers. Laura was a 2016 Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow and was invited to take part in the first TEDx-Fulbright Adelaide event (2019).
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) is an extremely heterogeneous disease with subtypes of patients exhibiting a diverse range of genetic mutations. Certain subtypes of ALL can be treated with drugs already in clinical use. Laura undertook her Fulbright fellowship (2016-2017) at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee where she learned mouse models of high-risk ALL. Laura is now leading in vivo mouse studies for high-risk ALL with a specific focus on T-cell ALL. Laura’s research seeks to pave the way for alternative T-ALL therapies that are more effective and have fewer long-term side effects. She is using cutting edge laboratory models to evaluate precision medicine treatment strategies tailored to individual patients. Her current funding will help her and her team create a repository of cells, enabling experimentation and evaluation of the success of different T-ALL targeted therapies.
Long term, Laura aims to provide clinicians with a suite of new and re-purposed FDA-approved drugs, which will be able to effectively treat the different genetic lesions associated with T-ALL.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) is one of the biggest causes of non-traumatic death in children and relapsed T-cell ALL (T-ALL) is an extremely high risk disease. Currently, up to 30% of paediatric/adolescent T-ALL patients relapse with subsequent poor overall survival; the outcome is worse for adult patients with long-term survival rates after relapse below 10%. More effective, less toxic treatments are urgently needed for when a patient fails their front-line chemotherapy. Dr Eadie is SAHMRI's T-ALL research leader and her team creates humanised mouse avatars from individual patient’s leukaemic cells to use in pre-clinical drug trials. Combined with genomic sequencing to identify a patient’s leukaemia-causing mutations, these models allow Dr Eadie to discover more effective therapeutic options targeted to each individual patient’s leukaemia.
T-ALL is characterised by recurrent gene fusions and concomitant structural abnormalities. Ongoing advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled classification of a diverse range of genomic alterations resulting in new T-ALL subtypes. Critically, the wealth of genomic information available has identified new and recurrent genomic lesions but their biological and clinical implications remain unclear. Incorporating the knowledge gained through NGS into clinical care presents a major challenge.
Dr Eadie's long-term research goal is to identify new and re-purposed drugs which effectively treat the different genetic lesions associated with T-ALL. Her team's findings will ultimately provide clinicians with an arsenal of alternative treatment options and hope for patients who have relapsed.

Title: Evaluation of novel alterations in pre-clinical models of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (T-ALL)
Project description:
Dr Eadie's research program utilises genomic sequencing to identify novel and targetable T-ALL alterations to accelerate a transition towards precision medicine to improve clinical outcomes. Dr Eadie's Research Group is part of the SAHMRI ALL Genomics and Functional Genomics/Biology Laboratory led by Prof Deborah White (leader, SAHMRI Precision Cancer Medicine Theme). Together, with the ALL bioinformatic team, Dr Eadie has curated the largest genomic sequencing database of T-ALL patients in Australia. Dr Eadie has identified novel leukaemia-causing alterations as well as new treatment options for several high-risk ALL subtypes.
SAHMRI's ALL Research laboratory is the National Referral Centre for genomic screening of ALL cases allowing identification of genomic alterations in a large number of patients from Australia and New Zealand. Identification of novel and recurrent genomic alterations is ongoing and we have projects available to characterise these alterations in vitro and in vivo.
The over-arching focus of Dr Eadie's research program is the generation of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and transgenic mouse models of T-ALL from patient samples received in the laboratory. These models are used to (1) examine re-purposing drugs and test novel therapies; and (2) provide therapeutic options for pre-emptive intervention in the case of therapy-resistant disease.
