About Phoebe
A/Prof Phoebe Phillips is a multi-time Cure Cancer grant recipient, receiving grants in 2009, 2012 and 2013.
It's Phoebe’s passion and drive to change the dismal prognosis of pancreatic cancer that Cure Cancer admires. She says that without the support from Cure Cancer, she wouldn’t have been able to establish her research team and make the progress they’ve made.
Phoebe is a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Fellow, and leader of the Pancreatic Cancer Translational Research Group at the University of New South Wales. Her training into pancreatic diseases began as a research assistant in 1999 with the Pancreatic Research Group at UNSW and she completed her PhD in 2005. In the same year, Phoebe commenced a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Massachusetts in the USA, before returning to Australia in 2007.
