Biography
Dr Louise Ludlow established and manages the Children's Cancer Centre Tissue Bank which is an essential research enabling platform. The CCC Tissue Bank, established in April 2014 with funding and support from the Cancer in Kids Auxiliary (CIKA), is one of only three paediatric tissue banks in Australia and comprises a collection of tissue that has been preserved for future clinical investigation and ethically approved research. The Tissue Bank is integral to our efforts to improve diagnostics and develop better “personalised" treatments for children diagnosed with cancer in the future. Dr Ludlow has extensive experience in cell and molecular biology completing her PhD in cancer research under the supervision of Prof Ricky Johnstone at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Louise's first postdoctoral position was undertaken in Prof Curt Horvath's Laboratory at Northwestern University, Evanston IL followed by a four year collaborative Research Officer position at The University of Melbourne and the Burnet Institute.
