More about Annalisa Carli

I am fascinated by the ingenious ways cancer cells work and how they continue to evade and trick the human body. Figuring out how they do this will help us to put a stop to their cunningness.

I completed my Bachelors and Masters in the Netherlands and, as part of my Masters program, came to Australia for an internship at the ONJCRI. I fell in love with Melbourne and the superb coffee. Fascinated by the research being done at the ONJCRI, I knew that I wanted to come back to work on my PhD.

My PhD project is a fundamentally based project. I am focused on discovering the function and role of a protein called DCLK1, which is upregulated in gastric cancers and which correlates with poor prognosis. Finding out how this protein works is key to discovering how to stop it and potentially make a huge difference for patients in the clinic.
