Dr Megan Hitchins
    
Prince of Wales Clinical School
Statement of Interests:
Research focus is the role of genetic and epigenetic changes in disease development including both congenital disorders and cancer, and the inheritance patterns associated with these molecular abnormalities. This has included research into the aetiological role of genomic imprinting during fetal development, and more recently, germline epimutations in hereditary cancers. The patterns of somatic epigenetic changes in the development of sporadic cancer, and the underlying mechanisms are also of interest.

Associate Professor Bettina Meiser
    
Prince of Wales Clinical School
Statement of Interests:
An ongoing research program that incorporates both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies focuses on the psychological impact of genetic testing and counselling for adult-onset disorders, in particular cancer susceptibility; psychological adjustment of those at risk for adult-onset disorders; the design and evaluation of interventions in the genetic counselling setting, in particular decision aids as an innovative means of patient education; and the impact of prophylactic surgery in individuals at high risk for cancer. Another area of research is cultural aspects of cancer genetics.

Professor Robyn Ward
    
Prince of Wales Clinical School
Statement of Interests:
In the field of hereditary cancer, the impact of germline epimutations as a cause of cancer is a main field of study. This work represents a substantive change in our understanding of colorectal cancer predisposition, and is of clinical relevance. In the clinical field research studies involve interventional and observational studies of targeted therapies for cancer. In health policy, the research activities revolve around developing cost effective models for the use of cancer medicines in our community.
