Monique Bax is a Senior Post Doctoral Scientist at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney. Her research primarily focuses on understanding Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissections (SCAD), a major cause of myocardial infarctions in women over 50. She utilizes induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients' blood cells to differentiate arterial cells in both 2D and 3D cultures. Through her work, she employs proteomics and molecular techniques to explore biochemical pathways and identify potential drug targets to prevent SCAD recurrence. Monique has previously contributed to neurodegenerative research, investigating the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in motor neurone disease and neuronal development. She earned her PhD in November 2019 under the supervision of Professor Lezanne Ooi and the late Professor Justin Yerbury at the University of Wollongong. Monique is actively involved in professional organizations, including serving as a member of the CVMM EMCR Committee at UNSW and as Secretary of the St Vincent's Research Precinct Post Doctoral Development Committee. She is a member of multiple research societies and has received numerous competitive grants for her work, showcasing her commitment to academic excellence and research development.
