Education

[edit]

Visvader holds a PhD inBiochemistryfrom theUniversity of Adelaidehaving studied structure and function of citrus exocortis viroid[2]

Career and research

[edit]

After her PhD[3]in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Adelaide, she was apostdoctoral researcherwithInder Verma(Salk Institute,San Diego) andJerry Adams(Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI)).[4]She worked at the Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical SchoolinBostonbefore returning to Victoria in 1997 to establish a Breast Cancer Laboratory at WEHI.[5]

Visvader has published work investigating the role of cells of origin in cancer[6]and in particular focuses on the role of stem cells,[7][8]which she believes may be a key to understanding breast cancer.[9]

Visvader is a board member of the Cancer Council Victoria, Medical & Scientific Committee.[10]
