Simone Ostrouska

Research Assistant

More about Simone Ostrouska

I am hopeful that my work will allow us to further understand how we can harness our own immune system in fighting cancer.

I am a research assistant in the Tumour Immunology Laboratory at the ONJCRI. I studied at Monash University and spent my honours year in the Department of Immunology, where I researched how dendritic cells migrate to lymph nodes in order to kick off an immune response. My current work looks at how different subsets of immune cells interact with tumour cells, and how this can affect their ability to mount an effective immune response.

Education

Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours), Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
