Senior Clinician Researchers

Dr Tey’s areas of research are bone marrow transplantation and cellular immunotherapy. Her research in bone marrow transplantation is focused on understanding the interplay between anti-tumour immunity, viral infection and graft-versus-host disease; and the means by which these can be modulated to improve patient outcome. She has a particular interest in developing novel cellular therapies in bone marrow transplantation and cancer treatment. Her group is currently strongly focused o the development of new Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapies that are safer and more efficacious. She has established a bench-to-bedside translational pipeline in collaboration with the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital that has the capacity to make clinical grade CAR T cells in-house for early phase clinical trials.
