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.
T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (T-ALL) is a genomically complex, high-risk disease affecting both children and adults. Novel, targeted treatments are urgently required to prevent drug resistance and relapse. 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.
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%. The over-arching focus of my studies is the generation of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and transgenic mouse models of T-ALL from patient samples received in the laboratory. These models will be used to (1) examine re-purposing drugs and testing novel therapies; and (2) provide therapeutic options for pre-emptive intervention in the case of therapy-resistant disease. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is common in relapsed ALL but drivers of this aggressive disease are poorly defined. This project will use imaging studies to track specific disease subtypes demonstrating CNS penetration.
Research Project 1 - Dr Laura Eadie
Title: Evaluation of leukaemic invasion and penetrance in mouse models of ALL.
Project description:
Our laboratory is the National Referral Centre for genomic screening of ALL cases allowing identification of genomic alterations in a large number of patients. Establishment of PDX models from these patient samples is ongoing. Recent PDXs have resulted in leukaemic engraftment within the brain, indicative of CNS involvement and suggesting an aggressive disease. CNS penetration in ALL is a significant un-met clinical need, however, the pathogenesis of CNS disease, the underlying genomic determinants and the biology driving CNS penetration remain poorly understood and targeted therapies are limited.
Additional PDX models resulted in rapid detection of leukaemic cells within the blood, but not the bone marrow or brain, highlight the complexity of individual leukaemias and the need for real-time disease imaging and tracking. Fluorescently-tagged cells harvested from PDX models or transgenic cells harbouring genomic lesions of interest will be used to investigate CNS involvement. Cells isolated from leukaemic organs will be comprehensively characterised using molecular biology and NGS approaches. Surface receptor expression profiles of leukaemic cells will be examined to determine potential causes of invasion. Computational network biology analyses will be performed to define druggable pathways. Results from this project will inform on disease invasion and allow evaluation of treatment strategies for aggressive disease phenotypes in real-time.
