Academic Background
BSc, PhD UQ
Research: The Innate Immune System, Cancer Therapeutics and Biomedical Applications of Nanomaterials.
Dr Barbara Rolfe is an immunologist and cell biologist is an immunologist and cell biologist whose research focuses on myeloid cells and the innate immune response. Her research investigates key questions in biomedical research: 1) biomedical applications of nanomaterials, and how the immune response to nanoparticles influences their in vivo fate, and 2) the application of complement-targeting drugs as cancer therapeutics.
