Professor Marie-Liesse Asselin-Labat PharmD, PhD, Viertel Senior Medical Research Fellow, is Joint-Head of the Personalised Oncology Division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne. She completed her PhD at the University Paris XI in 2004 and pursued post-doctoral work at the WEHI before starting her independent research program in 2011. Her lab studies how distinct lung immune micro-environments activated by environmental exposure influence tumour cells behaviour in lung cancer. She aims to identify targetable pathways to increase the immunogenicity of tumour cells in non-small lung cancer. She has received multiple awards, including the L’Oréal For Women in Science Fellowship and the Australian Academy of Science Nancy Millis Medal.
