Katharine Irvine

Biography

Associate Professor Katharine Irvine co-leads the Macrophage Biology lab at Mater Research-UQ. In 2022 she was promoted to Associate Professor and Group Leader and has established her own program in liver diseases. She completed her PhD in 2004 at the UQ IMB, followed by postdoctoral positions at IMB, UQ Diamantina Institute and UQ School of Medicine before joining Mater Research in 2017. She has worked on diverse aspects of fundamental macrophage biology and their pathophysiological roles in homeostasis, inflammation and infections throughout her career. She has a particular interest in macrophage contributions to the progression and complications of chronic liver disease, and in translational research focused on macrophages in metabolic diseases more generally. She was awarded the inaugural Australian Liver Foundation Pauline Hall Fellowship in 2012, and since then has enjoyed extensive clinical collaborations and has led and contributed to projects spanning the spectrum of preclinical-clinical research in liver disease. She is an elected member of the Gastroenterological Society of Australia Liver Faculty (2021-2023). Dr Irvine has diverse technical expertise spanning genomics and bioinformatics, molecular and cellular biology, in vivo investigations in mice and rats, as well as clinical research design and analysis. She has received over $4 million in competitive funding throughout her career, and has over 100 publications that have been cited more than 7000 times (h-index 41).
