A/Prof Stephen Ting
Dr Stephen Ting is a haematology clinician-scientist based at Alfred Health-Monash University.
He is an active practising haematologist and a principal investigator studying self-renewal pathways of haematopoeitic and leukemia stem cells.
He completed his medical training in clinical and laboratory haematology at Monash University and affiliated hospitals in 1998. He was awarded postgraduate scholarships by the HSANZ to study Polycythemia in Hopital Cochin, Paris (1999) and Cancer Council of Victoria to undertake PhD studies with Professor Stephen Jane at the Bone Marrow Research Laboratories (2000-2005) where his discoveries of the Grhl3 gene earned him numerous awards, including the Victorian Premier's Award in Medical Research (2005).
Stephen obtained NHMRC CJ Martin, Canadian Post-Doctoral and RACP Bushell Travelling Fellowships to pursue further studies with Professor Guy Sauvageau in Montreal, Canada (2006-2009) investigating self-renewal mechanisms in haematopoietic stem cells. In 2010, he returned to Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, as a senior Research Fellow and in mid-2011, was appointed as a group leader in the Division of Blood Cancers, ACBD to continue his independent research that identifies the importance of asymmetric cell division within both haematopoietic and leukemia stem cells.
