Simone Brysland is a second-year PhD candidate working in the Gardiner Group, at the Australian National University, in Canberra, Australia. Simone’s work focusses on defining molecular mechanisms underpinning the haemostatic dysfunction (thrombosis and bleeding) that is commonly reported in haematological malignancy patients. Simone is particularly interested in biochemical and genomic changes to megakaryocytes and platelets, which affect thrombopoiesis and haemostatic function, independent of therapies. Her work aims to describe changes to platelet receptor biology and the megakaryocyte genome in lymphoma patients, and link these findings with platelet functional changes. Ultimately her goal is to develop a haemostasis scoring matrix that incorporates clinical measures together with research-based assays, to evaluate bleeding propensity, and aid clinical decisions around therapy and patient management. On completion of her PhD, Simone is very interested to explore potential post-doctoral positions in the field of Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
