Postdoctoral Research Fellow

More about Adam Parslow

The ability to translate our discoveries made at the laboratory bench to patients seeking treatment in our centre drives my passion to make an impact for our community.

I am a recent PhD graduate from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in Melbourne. My studies focused on the use of zebrafish as a model system for the discovery of novel genes involved in the development and progression of colorectal cancer.

I am an experienced molecular biologist and geneticist. I have developed and progressed the application of advanced microscopy techniques to expand our understanding of intestinal formation and decay due to mutation. With these abilities, my work with the ONJCRI is based in the Tumour Targeting laboratory of Prof Andrew Scott. Our focus is the characterisation of cell surface receptors as targets for antibody based cancer therapy. With strong collaborations with medical chemists and clinical researchers, we are refining potential targets to improve treatments for aggressive cancer types including: glioblastoma, breast and colorectal cancer.

My work involves developing in vitro and in vivo preclinical models to characterise our laboratory’s novel antibody discoveries to help drive our advancement into the clinic. I am further enhancing our laboratory's ability to improve patient outcomes through the use of computational biology to analyse the vast genomic datasets we are able to generate from laboratory and clinical trials.
