Dr Doug Fairlie

HEAD, CELL DEATH and SURVIVAL LABORATORY

More about Dr Doug Fairlie

I am especially excited about making discoveries in fundamental molecular and cellular processes, and subsequently translating these findings into the development of new treatment strategies that will ultimately benefit cancer patients.

I obtained my PhD in Biochemistry from Monash University in 1994. After a postdoctoral stint in the US at the State University of New York, Buffalo, I returned to Australia in 1996 to work at the Centre for Immunology, St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney, where I was the lead protein chemist on projects involving TGF-b-related cytokines and a novel intracellular ion channel.

In 2001, I joined the Cancer and Haematology Division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute to continue work on cytokines, including IL-6 family members. In 2003, I moved to the Structural Biology Division at WEHI, where I commenced working on cell death and survival mechanisms, and was promoted to a laboratory head in 2010.

Upon joining the ONJCRI in 2015, I have focused on understanding how cell death is regulated in melanoma and am currently working with colleagues at WEHI to develop new drugs which target the apoptosis pathways in these and other tumours. My work is funded through grants from NHMRC, Cancer Council of Victoria and Worldwide Cancer Research, UK.
