Dr. Kylie Shaddock is a Lecturer in the Discipline of Infectious Diseases and Immunology at the School of Medical Sciences, University of Sydney. She holds academic appointments within the Faculty of Medicine and Health, focusing on education innovation and clinical immunology. Her career includes roles as a postdoctoral researcher and Group Leader at the Garvan Institute, UNSW Sydney, and a Research Project Manager at Liverpool Hospital coordinating autoimmune disease studies.

Education: BSc (Honours) from UNSW Sydney (year not specified) and PhD in genetics and immunology from the University of Melbourne (2005), conducted at the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.

Research interests center on immunological tolerance, autoimmunity, regulatory T cells, and translational applications in clinical immunology. Her work bridges basic immunology with clinical challenges in autoimmune diseases and transplantation. She coordinates postgraduate units like 'Clinical Immunology and Immunotherapy' and undergraduate 'Molecular and Cellular Immunology'.

Publications span T cell biology, cytokine signaling (IL-2, IL-21), and regulatory T cell mechanisms in autoimmunity and cancer. Notable contributions include studies on Treg-mediated allograft survival without immunosuppression (2019) and IL-2/IL-2Ab complexes in kidney disease (2012).

Her academic trajectory includes positions at leading institutions such as the Garvan Institute and Walter & Eliza Hall Institute, reflecting expertise in both research and medical education.
