Speaker of: Health Connect: The New Zealand/Atlantic Canada Cancer Screening Project
A/Prof Kate Sutherland is a Laboratory Head at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI), developing state-of-the-art preclinical models of lung cancer. Kate completed her PhD in 2005 under the supervision of Profs Jane Visvader and Geoffrey Lindeman at WEHI. Upon completion of her studies, she moved to The Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, where she undertook Postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of Prof Anton Berns. During this time Kate performed innovative studies that advanced the lung cancer field, by identifying the cell-of-origin of the two main subtypes of lung cancer. In 2013, Kate returned to WEHI to start her own laboratory dedicated to understanding tumour heterogeneity in lung cancer. In this time, she has developed new approaches and technologies to study lung cancer, leading to seminal findings on genetic drivers, the immune microenvironment and the role of the metabolome in these aggressive cancers.
Kate has been the recipient of funding from Worldwide Cancer Research (UK), NHMRC and the Victorian Cancer Agency to support her work in designing precision medicine approaches for lung cancer patients. Her work has been published in high-impact journals including Cancer Cell, Cell Metabolism, PNAS and Journal of Thoracic Oncology. She serves on national and international committees (Lung Foundation Australia, Cancer Council of Victoria and the IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer 2021). Kate passionately advocates for women in science, educating the next generation of research scientists and the value of fundamental lung cancer research in improving the treatment of patients.
