Prof. John Mariadason

HEAD, GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS PROGRAM | HEAD, ONCOGENIC TRANSCRIPTION LABORATORY

More about Prof. John Mariadason

The ongoing objective of my work is to identify new and more effective treatments for patients affected with cancers of the colon, stomach and biliary tract.

I moved to New York to undertake postdoctoral training at the Montefiore Medical Center - Albert Einstein College of Medicine where I investigated the role of Wnt signaling in colon cancer progression and the use of gene expression profiling for predicting response of colon cancer cells to chemotherapy.

I established my independent laboratory at Albert Einstein in 2001 as Assistant Professor of Medicine and was appointed Associate Professor of Medicine in 2008. I returned home to Melbourne in 2008, joining the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research as Head of the Oncogenic Transcription Laboratory.

I am currently Professor and Head of the Oncogenic Transcription Laboratory at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute, where my research continues to be focused on the identification of new treatments for colon cancer, gastric cancer and cancers of biliary tract.
