Dr Centenera is a Research Fellow in the Prostate Cancer Research Group located at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute. Her research is focused on improving treatments for men with prostate cancer. This involves understanding and targeting the androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells, and identifying more accurate markers for monitoring patient response to current and emerging prostate cancer therapeutics. Dr Centenera is an expert in patient-derived explants as a preclinical model of prostate cancer.
