Dr. Tuba Nur Gide is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, and a post-doctoral researcher at the Melanoma Institute Australia. She is also a member of the Charles Perkins Centre and actively contributes to the Cancer Research Network and Sydney Cancer Partners. Dr. Gide completed her PhD in 2019 with a focus on biomarkers of response and resistance to anti-PD-1 based immunotherapies in metastatic melanoma.
Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Medical Science with Honors and she received the Australian Postgraduate Award during her doctoral studies. Dr. Gide's research centers on precision medicine approaches to cancer treatment, specifically developing predictive models to determine which patients will respond to immunotherapy versus those who would benefit from alternative treatments.
Dr. Gide's work focuses on immunology, melanoma and skin cancer, and therapeutic development. She aims to move away from the 'one drug fits all' approach toward personalized immunotherapy that considers patients' clinical factors and tumor properties. Her research has been published in prestigious journals including Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, Clinical Cancer Research, and Cancer Cell, with a focus on the tumor immune microenvironment, biomarkers of response to immunotherapies, and mechanisms of resistance to cancer treatments.
Dr. Gide leads the Personalised Immunotherapy Platform (PIP), a clinical tool developed to ensure advanced melanoma patients receive effective treatment based on their genetics and tumor biology. Her publications reveal a strong focus on spatial immune profiling, biomarker discovery, and understanding resistance mechanisms in immunotherapy.
