Dr Victoria Ling

Dr Victoria Ling is a clinical and laboratory Haematologist at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and a post-doctoral research scientist at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane. She is an honorary senior lecturer at the University of Queensland. She completed her haematology training through the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne (2015), prior to gaining her PhD at QIMR Berghofer and University of Queensland in Brisbane (2019).

She has ongoing translational research interests in better understanding the clinical and genetic contributors to therapy response, including the impact of clonal evolution leading to disease and through treatment, and how to circumvent therapeutic failure in haematological malignancies. Specifically, her PhD and post-doctoral research focusses on investigating genetic mechanisms causing chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukaemia and targeting these pathways with rationally designed, novel therapeutic combinations to enhance chemotherapy response.
