Tom Jobling promoted to Professor

Congratulations Tom Jobling on his recent academic promotion to full Professor.  Professor Jobling's research interests include establishing a proteomic platform for biomarker and screening test development for ovarian cancer.

"Our clinical and tissue banking program has enabled the establishment of a well-integrated research unit with the Hudson Institute of Medical Research," Professor Jobling said.

Professor Jobling acknowledges Andrew Stephens and his team at Hudson for their terrific scientific endeavours.

"We hope to get a screening test for early detection of ovarian cancer which would of course translate into improved survival."

Head of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Professor Euan Wallace said the Department is indebted to Professor Jobling for his clinical research leadership and expertise.

"Professor Jobling has led gynaecology oncology services at Monash Health and the gynaecology cancer research group at the University for many years," Professor Wallace said.

"His contributions to the University and research more broadly are central to the academic success and growth of the gynaecology oncology group."
