Dr. Kathy Fuller is an Associate Professor of Translational Oncology at the University of Western Australia (UWA). Her research integrates flow cytometry, molecular biology, and clinical oncology to develop innovative tools for detecting and monitoring blood cancers.
Dr. Fuller’s pioneering work led to the development of the immuno-flowFISH method, an automated, world-first technique that detects chromosome signals in cells based on their immunophenotype. Kathy has also been instrumental in advancing diagnostic tools in other fields developing flow cytometric analyses with fertility clinics and commercial plant breeders in Western Australia. She also collaborates with Water Corporation to investigate the use of imaging flow cytometry to characterise and quantify cyanobacteria in water samples from the Harding Dam treatment facility. This research aims to improve water quality management by deepening understanding of cyanobacteria taxonomy and their ecological impacts.
