Dr Joshua Casan

I am a clinical haematologist, haematopathologist, and molecular biologist based at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Royal Melbourne Hospital. My practice covers the full spectrum of haematological conditions, with a particular focus on myeloproliferative neoplasms, acute leukaemia, classical haematology, CLL, and lymphoma.

Alongside my clinical work, I serve as the Genomics Innovation Fellow in Molecular Haematology at the Wilson Centre for Blood Cancer Genomics. I am also a postdoctoral scientist, with research interests in RNA-targeting and CRISPR-based therapeutics, mRNA engineering, and medical nanotechnology.

I completed my PhD in the Trapani and Johnstone Laboratories at Peter Mac, and my specialist training at the Alfred Hospital, followed by fellowships in genomics and clinical trials at Monash Health. To date, I have been an investigator on more than 50 clinical trials evaluating novel therapies for blood cancers.
