Dr Nicole Brooks is pure sunshine.  A beaming smile and down to earth nature that belies the gravity of the work she does… day in, day out.  

You see, at 15 years of age Nicole, lost her beautiful mum, Susie, to cancer.   And she’s taken that tragedy and profound loss and converted it into devoting her life to cancer research and improving the lives and health outcomes of patients.  

Nicole holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours and a PHD in foetal physiology in obstetrics and gynaecology from the University of Melbourne.  And now, as the program manager of The Molecular Oncology and Cancer Immunology (MOCI) group at Epworth Healthcare, she, and her brilliant colleagues, aim to provide patients with access to cutting-edge genomic testing.
