from A Window On SAHMRI · host SAHMRI
Joyce Mugabushaka is a first-generation Australian whose family fled civil conflict in the Congo in the mid 90’s, eventually settling in Adelaide. It was watching science themed kids TV shows that first sparked Joyce’s interest in research, leading her on the path to wearing in a lab coat as a PhD Candidate within SAHMRI’s Precision Cancer Medicine theme. Joyce’s research primarily focuses on studying the disrupted gut bacteria of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) survivors caused by chemotherapy and assessing long term health impacts. In her spare time, she volunteers as an Event Medic for St John Ambulance SA, loves hitting the gym and has even sky dived multiple times!
