Rate My Professor Sheree Bailey

Dr. Sheree Bailey serves as Senior Lecturer in Laboratory Medicine within the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, College of Health, at Adelaide University. She joined the University of South Australia, now part of Adelaide University, in 2019 after serving as Senior Medical Scientist at SA Pathology's Flow Cytometry Facility in the Department of Immunology at Flinders Medical Centre. Bailey completed her PhD at Flinders University in 2017, investigating signaling pathways in rituximab-resistant non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells. An early career researcher with extensive experience in clinical and research flow cytometry, she collaborates with the Acute Leukaemia Laboratory at the Centre for Cancer Biology. She has served as clinical adviser for the Australasian Cytometry Society and co-chair of the flow cytometry and cellular analysis committee for the International Society for Laboratory Haematology. Bailey advances her flow cytometry expertise through collaboration with Cytek Biosciences, Inc. As course coordinator for Experimental Research Practice B (MEDI 4014) and Essential Haematology (MEDI 2005), she mentors undergraduate and honours students in research laboratories and co-supervises two PhD students.

Bailey's academic interests center on flow cytometry applications in haematology, including minimal residual disease quantification, acute leukaemia research, and cord blood NK cell-based immunotherapies, alongside laboratory medicine education. Her key publications include "Germline mutations in mitochondrial complex I reveal genetic and targetable vulnerability in IDH1-mutant acute myeloid leukaemia" (Nature Communications, 2022), "Circular RNAs drive oncogenic chromosomal translocations within the MLL recombinome in leukemia" (Cancer Cell, 2023), "Novel modes of MPL activation in triple-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms" (Pathology, 2023), and "The Effects of Walnuts and Academic Stress on Mental Health, General Well-Being and the Gut Microbiota in a Sample of University Students: A Randomised Clinical Trial" (Nutrients, 2022). Additional contributions encompass "Development of locus specific sub-clone separation by fluorescence in situ hybridization in suspension in chronic lymphocytic leukemia" (Cytometry Part A, 2017) and "ProNGF mediates death of Natural Killer cells through activation of the p75NTR-sortilin complex" (Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2010). Recent educational innovations appear in "A combined interactive online simulation and face-to-face laboratory enable undergraduate student proficiency in hemocytometer use" (Immunology and Cell Biology, 2025) and "Leveraging computer-based simulations and immersive software technologies for enhanced student learning in laboratory medicine" (Advances in Physiology Education, 2025).
