Postdoctoral Research Fellow

More about Jessica Duarte

What I love most about being a scientist is the continuous acquisition of new knowledge and skills, which provides a constantly stimulating work environment.

I have recently completed my PhD in Medical Biochemistry which was focused on the development of a protein microarray-based platform using mainly Cancer-Testis antigens. This platform was used to assess autoimmune responses to cancer therapeutics across several cancers, as a means to potentially identify novel predictive, prognostic and/or disease progression biomarkers that may shed light on the interplay between the immune system and tumour responses to treatment. My expertise in seromics brings a unique skill set to our institute’s immune monitoring capabilities in a clinical trial setting.
