Dr Maree Faux is a biochemist and cancer cell biologist, a Senior Research Officer in the Neuro-oncology Group at Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) and an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Surgery, at the University of Melbourne.
Maree’s research aims to understand the biology and biochemical signalling pathways important in normal cell function and the molecular changes that contribute to cancer. Maree’s work has included the discovery of scaffolding complexes that anchor protein kinases and phosphatases to specific subcellular locations and understanding of how truncation of APC in colon tumours affects fundamental cellular processes. She is currently coordinating the developmental biology and cancer research activities in the Neuro-oncology Group. Her research aims to discover new transcriptional regulatory mechanisms and characterise these at the molecular and genomic level in normal development and in childhood cancer.
Over the course of her career, Maree has developed expertise in protein biochemistry and cancer cell biology and has made significant contributions to her field. She is passionate about research discovery and has continually pursued innovative ideas by developing and implementing new procedures to address research question. She is committed to nurturing talent and developing careers through mentoring and supervision of students and colleagues.
