Murugan Kalimutho
Murugan Kalimutho is a senior research officer at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute. He gained his PhD at the University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’ in 2010 and worked as postdoctoral scientist at the University of Belfast in the UK before joining QIMR in 2012. Kalimutho’s research focuses extensively on cancer targeted therapy and deciphering molecular pathways contributing to drug resistance in breast and colorectal cancers. Moreover, his research also involves understanding the molecular and cellular basics of gene function in DNA damage response signalling, cell cycle and mitosis. Using multidisciplinary approaches, he has identified key roles of several proteins involved in cell division and mitosis, cell signalling, spermatogenesis as well as DNA damage and repair signalling.
