Biography

Sarah Russell  is an immunologist and cell biologist, interested in understanding how immune cell development occurs, and how polarity and tissue organisation influences cell fate. Her major focus is on T cells: how they develop, how they respond to pathogens and cancer, and how errors in their development can lead to leukemia. We hope that this knowledge eventually helps to provide better immunotherapies or immunomodulatory treatments.

To achieve these research goals, we need to apply state-of-the-art imaging and analytical capacity. Sarah's lab works both with biologists and clinical researchers at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (https://www.petermac.org/users/dr-sarah-russell) and with physicists and mathematicians at Swinburne University. Projects are available in both wet lab and data science aspects of the work.
