"Tocotrienol as a Potential Anticancer Agent"
Dr Patrick Ling
- Senior Research Fellow, APCRC-Q
- Vice Chancellor Fellow, IHBI, QUT
- Honorary Assistant Professor, The University of Hong Kong
Dr Ling graduated with a Bachelor degree in the Department of Biochemistry at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He also obtained his MPhil and PhD degrees at The University of Hong Kong. In 2005 he received the Outstanding Research Postgraduate Award. He was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Anatomy at The University of Hong Kong, and was promoted to Research Assistant Professor in the same department.
He is currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of Health and Biomedical Science and the Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre - Queensland. He studies the molecular mechanisms that underlie prostate cancer development.

"The role of Stress-activated gene, GADD45G in Prostate cancer cell survival"
Dr Raj Vasireddy
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre - Queensland
Dr Raja Vasireddy received his PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2010. He was the recipient of Melbourne Research Scholarship for the duration of his PhD. Before moving into cancer research Dr. Raja worked as a lecturer in India, teaching clinical microbiology to medical graduates. He completed his Masters degree in clinical microbiology from the University of Manipal, India. During his PhD he investigated the relationship between histone modifications, DNA damage and clinical radiation sensitivity.
After completing his PhD Dr Vasireddy joined APCRC - Q and his current research interests include investigating the stress response in prostate cancer cells and identifying candidate genes that can be targeted to improve the treatment efficacy and patient survival.
