 My research is very diverse, but I suppose I've always believed in working or following leads in science It's very hard to predict what's going to work and what isn't in science and often the unexpected is the most rewarding so I've tended to follow the discoveries as they've come along, but I also like to work between fields and between in this case cancer biology and immunology because I feel Combining your knowledge between fields is often when you come up with the unexpected the left field discovery Which I tend to like to do. I don't like to be a me too scientist. I like to make the new discoveries My most favorite project that present is this receptor sharing project, which is the ability of immune cells to share their antigen receptors the ability to recognize the pathogen to buy standard cells and rapidly expand the number of immune cells that can combat an infection and also can be harnessed to combat cancer by expanding the number of Immune cells that can recognize the cancer as foreign and rejected. I think that's an incredibly exciting finding to very novel It's a totally our own discovery and which created a lot of interest Actually one of Marshall Warren or for the most innovative NHMRC project grant in 2010 for that work as a group leader, I think the most important thing to do is to Inspire your research theme to follow up on their research findings It's also very important to train the next generation of scientists So I have quite a lot of PhD students and some honours students that We're educating training showing how to do science and suzing them about science Which I think is totally important and also adapting them to The fact that science is not an easy discipline and it goes through periods where things don't work Things can be tough, but when you make that breakthrough That's pretty hard to beat. In terms of a profession that's very rewarding
