Biography:
Ms Clark is a third year PhD candidate under the supervision of Professor Gail Risbridger and Dr Renea Taylor at Monash University.
Her current research looks at prostate cancer cells that are able to survive after castration. The aims of her research are to characterise these cells using a xenografting model of human prostate cancer and to further understand how they differ from the tumour bulk.
