Biography
Dr Lisa Philp heads the Translational Adipokine Research group, within the Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre – Queensland, based at the Translational Research Institute, Brisbane. Dr Philp originates from a metabolic research background with doctoral and undergraduate training in obesity, nutrition and endocrinology at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. Post-PhD, Dr Philp has built a research career studying endocrine-driven prostate cancer, focusing on the intersection between chronic metabolic dysfunction and the androgen axis in prostate cancer. She has a keen interest in the link between the adaptive adipokine and metabolic hormone changes triggered by androgen targeted therapies, and their role in prostate cancer progression. Dr Philp’s current industry-linked research program, funded by the US Department of Defense and Movember, includes the rigorous preclinical development of new therapeutics targeting adipokine signalling, as a novel treatment modality to combat late-stage metastatic prostate cancer and hopefully overcome treatment resistant disease. Recently Dr Philp was also awarded an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellowship to develop adipokine targeted therapeutics for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome and COVID-19.
