  • Dr. Christian Nefzger, Group Leader, University of Queensland
  • After a Master's degree at the Technical University of Munich and training at Munich's Helmholtz Centre (Germany), Dr. Nefzger undertook doctoral studies at the Monash Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences in Australia. Following postdoctoral work in Prof. Jose Polo's laboratory at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (late 2011 onwards), he was appointed Group Leader of the Reprogramming and Ageing Laboratory at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at UQ in 2019. He is an expert in reprogramming, epigenetics, and cellular ageing with >4500 citations and publications in renowned journals of Cell, Nature and Science families.
  • Associate Professor Jason Lee, Principal Research Fellow, University of Queensland
  • Associate Professor Jason Lee is a Group Leader of the Epigenetics and Precision Medicine Laboratory at Frazer Institute, The University of Queensland and holds Adjunct position at the Queensland University of Technology and Griffith University. He completed his doctorate degree at the University of Sydney on the study of growth factors in breast cancer. He then moved to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School as a postdoctoral fellow for the study of nuclear receptors in breast cancer. Before joining UQ, Jason was a research fellow, then an Associate Professor at Seoul National University. He came back to Australia as a QIMR Berghofer International Research Fellow in 2013. He focuses on various research areas including molecular epigenetics, hypoxic signalling and cancer metastasis. A/Prof Lee has a commercialization program developing novel drugs for cancer therapy as well as biomarkers. He has undertaken a commercialization project at IP Group Australia to assess opportunities from across top research institutions and collaborate in creating and supporting a portfolio of spin-out companies.
