Raelene Endersby
Dr Raelene Endersby co-leads the Brain Tumour Research Program – part of the Telethon Kids Cancer Centre at the Telethon Kids Institute in Perth, WA. She completed a PhD in the field of leukaemia in 2003 at the Harry Perkins Institute for Medical Research, and then undertook postdoctoral training in the Neurobiology and Brain Tumor Program at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis (USA). In 2011, Raelene was awarded a Fellowship to return to Australia where her translational research team seeks to discover improved treatments for childhood brain cancers. This multi-disciplinary and collaborative team uses a suite of preclinical models to understand the underlying biology of paediatric brain tumours, as well as to evaluate novel agents and identify the best therapies that should progress to clinical trial. Raelene is passionate about performing high-quality research and actively seeks a diversity of opinions in her work especially from those with non-traditional and non-academic career paths.
