Chair

Dr  Michelle Li
Medical Oncologis, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre

Dr Li is a medical oncologist with a strong interest in breast cancer, clinical trials and access to equitable healthcare. She is a recipient of the 2025 Breast Cancer Trials Clinical Fellowship, which will fund her research into identifying mechanisms and biomarkers of resistance to antibody-drug conjugates in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Speaker

Dr  Stephen Luen
Medical Oncologist and Translational Researcher, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre

Dr Luen is an early career medical oncologist and translational researcher specialising in breast cancer, sarcoma, early drug development, and precision oncology. In 2021, he completed a PhD supervised by Professor Sherene Loi investigating genomic and immune biomarkers in early-stage breast cancers, and continues to work closely with the laboratory. His current research interests include the development of novel clinical trial approaches for high-risk breast cancers, the early phase development of new therapeutic compounds, and the study of genomic and immune biomarkers in high-risk and treatment-refractory breast cancers.
