Simone is an Associate Professor (Research) at the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases and the Department of Clinical Haematology, within the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences at Monash University.
Simone Schoenwaelder completed her Ph.D. in 1996, before spending several postdoctoral years at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (USA) as an NHMRC CJ Martin Fellow studying. Upon returning to Australia, Simone was awarded NHMRC RD Wright and Monash University Logan Fellowships to conduct her research at the ACBD. Her overarching research objective is to enhance the understanding of the role of platelets in arterial thrombosis and to use this knowledge to rationally develop new approaches to prevent or treat thromboembolic disorders. Areas of current study include (i) The role of PI 3-kinase in blood clot development and stability, and (ii) The role of cell death pathways in platelet function and survival. Throughout her career, Dr Schoenwaelder has received numerous awards, including a Premiers Award for Medical Research Commendation (1997), Young Australian of the Year in Science and Technology for Victoria (1999), one of three National Finalists in her field for the Young Australian of the Year in 1999, and the ASTH Science Medal in 2007. Her research continues to be funded by competitive grants from the NHMRC and NHF, and has been published in top-ranking journals such as Nature Medicine, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Blood, and the Journal of Biological Chemistry
