This week's Hudson seminar
will be held in Seminar Rooms 1 &
2, Level 2, TRF Building on Thursday 24th May, 12pm-1pm. Our speaker will be Dr Carmela Ricciardelli PhD
Research Fellow, Adelaide Medical School, The University of Adelaide
She will be presenting 'Tumour-host signalling pathways: identification of novel ovarian cancer biomarkers and therapeutic targets'.
Dr Ricciardelli postdoctoral studies were undertaken in the
Department of Surgery, Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia and Dame Roma
Mitchell Cancer Research Laboratories, Hanson Institute, South Australia
(1996-2003). In 2004 she was awarded a Fellowship with Cancer Council SA and in
2005 she moved to the Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the University
of Adelaide which has enabled her to build a Reproductive Cancer research group
in the Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Adelaide. Dr
Ricciardelli is currently funded by the inaugural Lin Huddleston Ovarian Cancer
Research Fellowship, Adelaide Medical School, Robinson Research Institute, the
University of Adelaide for the next 5 years (2016-2020). Dr Ricciardelli’s
laboratory has recently explored ovarian cancer–peritoneal cell interaction
using proteomics technology. These studies have led to the identification of several
extracellular matrix proteins that are mechanistically involved in implantation
and peritoneal spread of ovarian cancer and may serve as novel ovarian cancer
biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets.
