Peter Gibbs-Lab team
Researcher:
Team
The Gibbs lab has been established with clinical leads for each of the tumour types and biomarkers of interest.
Each clinician is heavily involved in patient care and is well supported by a team that includes fellows, research nurses and project officers.
All tissue-based research is in collaboration with scientists within and outside of WEHI.

Super Content:
Clinician scientists Associate Professor Jeanne Tie and Associate Professor Sumitra Ananda are leading trials of a blood test to guide cancer treatment after surgery.
An international research team has developed a new blood test for the early detection of eight common cancers, diagnosing tumours before they have spread, when the chance of cure is high.
