Fiona Pixley is a physician scientist with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from the University of Western Australia and a Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Medicine/Epidemiology from the University of Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar. Following five years of physician training in Oxford and London hospitals, she became a member of the Royal College of Physicians (UK) and returned to biomedical research. Her research focuses on understanding the molecular approaches critical for elucidating the causes of disease, particularly the role of tumor-associated macrophages in cancer progression. Dr. Pixley has established her laboratory at the University of Western Australia, investigating how macrophages influence breast cancer invasiveness and studying new indicators to identify these cells within human tumors. Her lab employs a variety of microscopic and biochemical techniques to explore key signaling pathways associated with macrophage motility and adhesion.
