About Monash Haematology  

Monash Haematology is a clinical and academic-focused department whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of patients with blood diseases by providing the best care to every patient through integrated clinical practice, education and research. 
We provide haematology care to a population of approximately 1.3 million, making ours one of the largest services in Australia. Key clinical care and research areas include: Lymphoma and CLL, acute leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndromes, multiple myeloma, myeloproliferative disorders, venous thromboembolic disease and haemostatic disorders, haemoglobinopathies and transfusion medicine. Our clinical program is supported by an established Cell Therapy Program, including autologous stem cell transplant and chimeric antigen receptor T (CART)-cell capabilities within the Monash Health Translation Precinct and in partnership with the Hudson Institute Cell Therapy Platform.  

Our department is actively engaged with research organisations including the School of Clinical Sciences, Monash University; the Centre for Cancer Research (CCR) at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research; the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG), and the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). In conjunction with Monash University, basic and translational science research groups are embedded within the state-of-the-art Monash Health Translational Precinct facility. Consistent with its strong academic ties to Monash University, the unit holds teaching and research as key metrics.

It is important that the Monash Health Aggressive Lymphoma lead establishes themselves as a key opinion leader in the field and engages strongly with both industry and academic partners to access the best therapeutic options for our patients. The opportunity to undertake investigator-initiated research will be supported and encouraged. An understanding of haematologic disease particularly aggressive lymphoma biology, investigation, treatment and clinical trials is essential.
