PHIL GREGORY, Adelaide University

A/Prof Philip Gregory leads the Gene Regulation in Cancer Laboratory at the Centre for Cancer Biology within Adelaide University. His research focusses on understanding how microRNAs and RNA binding proteins influence cell plasticity and the metastasis of breast and prostate cancers. He pioneered the identification of microRNA feedback loops as key regulators of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). More recently, his research has demonstrated the importance of alternative splicing networks (including circular RNAs) in regulating cancer progression. His work has been published in journals including Nature Cell Biology, Cell, and EMBO Journal and has been widely cited (>14k).
