Alexandria’s Story
Alexandria, a survivor turned researcher was diagnosed during her university days, a time when most young adults are envisioning their futures with optimism and excitement. Instead, Alexandria found herself grappling with a diagnosis that would alter the course of her life forever. Alexandria refused to let cancer define her and, she pursued her passion for science, earning a PhD in Cancer Studies and joining the Ovarian Cancer Research Centre.
“I was experiencing some really uncomfortable cramping sensations – I knew that this wasn’t normal for me. I was very, very persistent with the healthcare professionals.”- Alexandria.

Despite the challenges that lay ahead, Alexandria refused to let cancer define her. Through sheer determination and resilience, she navigated her way through treatment, emerging stronger and more determined than ever before.
Motivated by a desire to make an impact, Alexandria pursued a path of scientific inquiry, earning her PhD in Cancer Studies and joining the Ovarian Cancer Research Centre. Today, she leads groundbreaking research aimed at transforming our understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of ovarian cancer.
“I’m so happy to be working at the Ovarian Cancer Research Centre, Europe’s first ever centre dedicated to ovarian cancer research.” says Alexandria.
