Felicity Davis

Felicity Davis is an Honorary Associate Professor at the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of Queensland, focusing on calcium signaling and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. Her research explores how ion channels and cellular signaling mechanisms contribute to cancer progression and lactation biology.

Research Trends: Analysis of her 39 journal articles (2011-2023) reveals a consistent focus on calcium signaling in breast cancer progression, particularly through EMT mechanisms. Key subfields include store-operated calcium channels (Orai1), purinergic receptors, mechanobiology of lactation, and therapeutic targeting of apoptosis pathways. Her work bridges molecular cell biology and translational pharmacology.

Advising & Collaboration: While no formal advisees are listed, she collaborates extensively with researchers like Gregory Monteith, Sarah Roberts-Thomson, and Teneale Stewart. Her publications span basic science (mammary gland development) to clinical implications (drug resistance in metastasis).
