About

After completing a Bachelor of Biomedical Science with Honours at the University of Melbourne (2004), Naomi joined Dr Leonie Quinn’s group and began research at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (2005-2007). Naomi then made the move with Dr Quinn when Dr Quinn established her laboratory at the University of Melbourne in 2007. In 2016 Dr Quinn relocated to The John Curtin School of Medical Research (ANU, Canberra), Naomi relocated as a senior research officer in the Quinn Group - Cancer Models in the ACRF Department of Cancer Biology and Therapeutics.
