Biography

Dr. Rosales is a Post-doctoral Research Associate at the University of Sydney and a Women in Transplantation Sanofi Fellowship Award Winner. She has a growing track record in translational health research in cancer and kidney transplantation. After receiving a Bachelor of Medical Science from The University of Technology, Sydney, Dr. Rosales worked as a Tissue Typing Scientist in the NSW Transplantation and Immunogenetics Services. Following an interest in equity and healthcare delivery, she went on to complete a Master of Public Health at the University of Sydney. Dr. Rosales has worked internationally in cancer clinical trials and recently completed a Ph.D. on the impact of cancer on kidney transplant recipients, including identifying sex and gender differences in outcomes under the supervision of Prof Angela Webster and Prof Kate Wyburn at The University of Sydney. Her Ph.D. projects involved the analysis of linked health administrative and clinical transplantation data to investigate cancer outcomes in kidney transplant recipients and, immunophenotyping kidney transplant recipients with ABMR to identify predictive biomarkers of disease. Her work has informed clinical practice guidelines in keratinocyte cancer management and deceased organ donor acceptance criteria. Dr. Rosales' post-doctoral work aims to bring together her diverse research and project management skills and experience to investigate inequities in health service delivery in cancer and transplantation and create real-world change.
