Dr Louise Ludlow

PhD

Murdoch Children’s Research Institute

Dr Louise Ludlow manages the Children’s Cancer Centre Bioresource Research Service at The Royal Children’s Hospital and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. Louise has been in this role since she was given the opportunity to establish the biobank in 2013. Her team strives to provide high-quality, clinically annotated biospecimens for national and international translational research projects and to deliver complex logistical and technical support for cancer clinical trial research, including precision oncology.

Dr Ludlow has over 15 years of cell and molecular biology experience in four laboratories, including a PhD from Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (The University of Melbourne) and a post-doctoral position at Northwestern University, Illinois, USA. These skills, along with specialised expertise in the ethical framework surrounding paediatric biobanking, implementation of cost recovery processes and engagement with philanthropic funding bodies, have enabled the continual improvement and development of this research enabling platform.

Dr Ludlow is an advocate for the role of biobanking, working in partnership with clinical services and medical personnel to drive research leading to progress and change.
