Biography:
Since 1997, Professor Clements has lead the Cancer Research Program at QUT, that aims to more clearly understand the molecular and cellular basis for the development, progression, and metastasis of solid tumours.
Her own research program is focused on the role of the Kallikrein-related serine proteases in the progression of prostate and ovarian cancers. To this end, she applies a comprehensive systems biology approach using proteomic (substrate identification) and transcriptome (downstream signalling pathways) analysis in combination with 3D in vitro models to better reflect the in vivo tumour microenvironment.
Professor Clements is also the Scientific Director at the Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre – Queensland, a dedicated prostate cancer research centre that comprises collaboration between QUT and the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Prof Clements is a two-time winner of the Alban Gee Prize from the Urological Society of Australasia, and has also been the recipient of the QUT Faculty of Science Distinguished Award for Excellence in Research as well as the QUT Vice Chancellor’s Award for Research Excellence. She is Chair of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) Queensland Board and a member of the national PCFA Board.
Prof Clements was awarded the Queensland Women in Technology Biotech Outstanding Achievement Award for 2012, and has been recently awarded with the title of Distinguished Professor.
