Sarah Best’s Bio: Dr Sarah Best is a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow in the Sutherland Laboratory. After completing her PhD on breast cancer in the Visvader/Lindeman Laboratory at WEHI, Sarah went to the Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School in Boston to study tumour suppressor genes in squamous non-melanoma skin cancer. In 2016, Sarah returned to WEHI to work with A/Prof Sutherland on KEAP1 biology in lung cancer.
