Biography
Dr White completed her BSc (Hons) at the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University. She completed her PhD at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, where she studied innate immune signalling. She then moved to Cleveland, OH, USA for postdoctoral training with Professor Bryan Williams and Dr Ganes Sen, in which she completed a variety of projects which focused on the role of Interferon signalling in development. In 2014, she began working with Dr Daniel Gough in the STAT Cancer Biology laboratory in the Centre for Cancer Research at the Hudson Institute studying the role of STAT3 in childhood brain tumours.
Research Interest
Dr Christine White works with A/Prof Elizabeth Algar in the Genetics and Molecular Pathology laboratory, establishing a diagnostic platform for molecular profiling of childhood brain tumours. This technology, currently only available overseas, will allow Australian patients to obtain a more precise diagnosis of their disease.
