Ryan O'Keefe

PHD Student

More about Ryan O'Keefe

As a scientist, I hope to contribute to building a world where cancer is no longer rampant throughout society.

I obtained a work placement at the ONJCRI as part of my Masters program and assisted with developing tools to discover new oncogenes in the Translational Breast Cancer Program. After completing my Masters, I sought and commenced a PhD project in the field of gastric cancer under Michael Buchert and Matthias Ernst.

My PhD project aims to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that work together to promote, develop and worsen the progression of gastric cancer. Using the increased understanding gained from my work, I am hoping to map the changes in several cell populations that have been observed to play a role in the progression of gastric tumours.
