GARVAN INSTITUTE
Darlinghurst, New South Wales, Australia
Associate Professor Michelle McDonald’s research spans over 20 years. Attaining her PhD in 2008, she is currently Group Leader of the Bone Microenvironment Group at The Garvan Institute of Medical Research, and Senior Lecturer at The University of Sydney, Australia. Using a novel intravital imaging technique her research has allowed visualisation and fate tracking of dormant and actively growing tumour cells within living bone, as well as visualisation of bone cells in real time. This has revealed previously unappreciated bone cell dynamics and tumour cell interactions. Her group is now working to define how bone modifying agents can be repurposed to prevent tumour growth and ensuing bone destruction.
