Brooke's experience in genetic manipulation and expression analysis spans nearly 20 years. Having worked in multiple research areas within both academia and industry, she brings both decades of management experience and a broad range of scientific knowledge. This positions her well to manage the diverse range of collaborative projects that GIH is involved in.
Researcher biography
Brooke completed a Bachelor of Science (BSc) at Melbourne University with honours at CSIRO and the Department of Medicine, followed by a PhD in Pharmacology at the Howard Florey Institute. In 2004 she moved to Brisbane to undertake a post doctoral position at the Institute for Molecular Biosciences where she was eventually recruited as the Biology Research Manager for the start-up Biotechnology company Mimetica. Following the successful development of a lead compound into clinical trials at Mimetica, Brooke moved back into academia in 2008 as a Research Fellow at the School of Biomedical Sciences, where she managed a research laboratory for nearly a decade. In 2017, she was appointed as the Co-ordinator for the Imaging and Analytical Core Research Facility at the School of Biomedical Sciences. Brooke joined the Genome Innovation Hub in 2019 as the Operations Manager.
