Her innovative research has already led to several discoveries, such as a novel strategy to protect normal Haematopoietic Stem Cells from chemotherapy or radiation damage. Research which may lead to a novel strategy to i. Potentially alleviate the life-threatening side-effects of cancer therapies, and ii. New ways to sensitise cancer cells to standard cancer therapy.

Over the course of her career, Dr Winkler has produced 49 peer-reviewed articles, including a recent landmark study in Nature Medicine 2012, describing a key component of the bone marrow vascular niche (E-selectin) in regulating Haematopoietic Stem Cell self-renewal and chemo-sensitivity and last year her research was recognized to be among ‘Ten of the Best Research Projects’in Australia by the National Health & Medical Research Council.
