Internal Engagement Lead and Research Associate, School of Biomedical Sciences

PhD (Queensland University of Technology), Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) (Queensland University of Technology)

Dr Jacqui McGovern is an interdisciplinary researcher who utilizes biomaterials and tissue engineering techniques to generate in vitro and in vivo models of bone metastatic cancers (e.g. breast and prostate cancer), as well as bone-resident tumours (osteosarcoma and multiple myeloma). She has expertise in 3D tissue models of complex organs, such as skin and bone. Her research aims to use these advanced models to study fundamental interactions between cancer cells and the human bone microenvironment, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of life for patients affected by metastatic cancer. Dr McGovern has received support from the International Myeloma Foundation, Cancer Australia and Advance Queensland.
