Professor Tony Cesare leads the Genome Integrity Unit at the Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) and holds a professorship at the University of Sydney. He is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow (2022-2025). His education includes a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2005) and post-doctoral training at CMRI (2006-2009) and the Salk Institute (2009-2013).
Cesare's research centers on genome stability mechanisms in cancer and ageing, with three primary projects:
- Telomere functions in tumor suppression/oncogenesis
- Replication stress response and genome instability
- Cell death mechanisms in radiotherapy
Publications (2019-2024) demonstrate consistent focus on telomere dynamics, replication stress resolution, and cancer therapeutic targeting. Trends include advanced imaging techniques, molecular inhibitors, and stem cell applications.
Awards include:
- NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein Fellowship (2009-2012)
- Cancer Institute NSW Future Research Leader (2013-2018)
- ARC Future Fellowship (2022-2025)
He advises PhD student Deborah Chandra and secured major grants like the NHMRC Ideas Grant (2020) and MRFF Childhood Cancer Research Grant (2021). His lab at CMRI employs cutting-edge techniques to study replication stress and telomere biology.
