Anneliese O. Speak MD

Anneliese Speak is interested in how alterations in genes cause developmental or functional abnormalities in the immune system with a current focus on cancer immunology.

My work aims to further uncover the interaction between the immune system and developing tumours, with a long-term view to enable this interaction to be manipulated for the development of new therapies. This involves polychromatic flow cytometry (analysis and sorting), DNA and RNA sequencing plus in vitro and in vivo models to understand the function of genes in the immune system.
