Prof Goodall is head of the Gene Regulation Laboratory at the Centre for Cancer Biology, an alliance of SA Pathology and the University of South Australia. His group was among the first to construct and use microarrays for microRNA analysis, which in collaboration with the EMT group of Dr. Yeesim Khew-Goodall has lead to the landmark discovery of a microRNA family that controls EMT, with important implications for tumour metastasis. Their report in Nature Cell Biol (2008) is the most highly cited of all papers on microRNAs in cancer. Prof Goodall has been a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology, NJ, and Research Fellow at Cornell University Medical School, NY and at the Friedrich Miescher Institute, Basel, Switzerland.
