DR KATHARINE LEWIS
Kat grew up and completed the majority of her medical and haematology training in the UK, before relocating to Australia to complete her specialist training as a Clinical Research and Lymphoma Fellow in 2018. She has an interest in lymphoma and is working in Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Linear Clinical Research in Perth, Western Australia. She has extensive experience as a sub investigator on a large number of clinical trials, with a focus on lymphoma and CLL, and recently began to gain experience as a clinical trial principal investigator.
She is active in investigator initiated research and has led and collaborated on several retrospective clinical studies, including a large international study investigating the effectiveness of systemic methotrexate in preventing CNS relapse in aggressive B-cell lymphoma, for which she was awarded the ASH-HSANZ Outstanding Abstract award in 2021. She has recently been appointed as the inaugural Early Career Clinician Researcher in the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG). Outside of her work as a haematologist, Kat is a wife, mum of two young girls and enjoys running.
