My Fulbright research aims to advance pancreatic cancer treatment by identifying new fibrotic co-targets and developing innovative dual therapies. To do this, we will utilise AI-driven spatial mapping to analyse patient pancreatic cancer specimens, fostering US-Australian ties in our shared mission to improve outcomes in this deadly disease.
Dr. Brooke Pereira is a senior postdoctoral researcher at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, specialising in pancreatic cancer. Her work employs cutting-edge techniques like proteomics and intravital imaging to identify new therapeutic targets.
As a Fulbright Future Scholar, she will collaborate with Professor Edna Cukierman at Fox Chase Cancer Center to analyse pancreatic cancer specimens using spatial digital mapping and AI-driven analysis, aiming to improve treatment outcomes for this lethal disease.
