Biography
Associate Professor Evan Ingley heads the Cell Signalling group, which has an interest in understanding the signalling networks or "information highways" of both normal and diseased cells. Evan's Honours degree at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) included a research project on the hormonal control of genes important for cockroach reproduction, but developed an interest in understanding molecular interactions involved in cancer/leukaemia. Evan completed his PhD at The Australian National University in the John Curtin School of Medical Research (Canberra) under the direction of Professor Ian Young, working on the interaction between the cytokine Interleukin-5 (IL-5) and its receptor.
Research Interest
The role of the tyrosine kinase Lyn in erythropoiesis and red blood cell leukaemias. Delineating novel signalling pathways intersected by Lyn. Analysing Lyn pathways involved in leukaemia and cancer. Structure/function analysis of Lyn signalling complexes. Techniques: Yeast two-hybrid, molecular biology, cell biology, protein complexes, protein expression, protein posttranslational modifications, flow cytometry.
