SENIOR CLINICAL RESEARCH FELLOW | MEDICAL ONCOLOGIST | LYMPHOMA LEAD, Austin Health

More about Dr Eliza Hawkes

I want to improve the lives of patients with lymphoma, not only by contributing to the global research efforts to improve disease-related outcomes, but also by reducing the exposure to toxicity from current treatments through tailored medical treatment and better survivorship care post-treatment.

My areas of medical responsibility are lymphoma, haematology survivorship care and gastrointestinal cancers. As well as being the Medical Lead in Lymphoma at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research and Wellness Centre at Austin Health, I also have an appointment as the Lymphoma Lead at Eastern Health.

My research interests involve the use of immunotherapy drugs and other novel therapies in the treatment of lymphoma. My research program focuses on novel ways of combining these drugs with standard lymphoma treatments, as well as gaining better insight into how these new drugs work in lymphoma by using blood, tissue and imaging markers to predict which patients are likely to benefit from them. These insights come from a large portfolio of clinical trials that I have designed myself and in collaboration with experts around Australia and the world.
