Jane Visvader FRS FAA FAHMS is a scientist specialising in breast cancer research who works for the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Australia. She is the joint head of the Breast Cancer Laboratory with Geoff Lindeman.[1]

Education

Visvader holds a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Adelaide having studied structure and function of citrus exocortis viroid[2]

Career and research

After her PhD [3] in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Adelaide , she was a postdoctoral researcher with Inder Verma (Salk Institute, San Diego) and Jerry Adams (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI)).[4] She worked at the Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School in Boston before returning to Victoria in 1997 to establish a Breast Cancer Laboratory at WEHI.[5].

Visvader has published work investigating the role of cells of origin in cancer[6] and in particular focuses on the role of stem cells,[7][8] which she believes may be a key to understanding breast cancer.[9]

Service to the Community

Cancer Council Victoria, Medical & Scientific Committee Board Member [10]
