Professor Joy Ho

Professor P. Joy Ho, MB.BS. (Hons), D.Phil (Oxon), FRACP, FRCPA, FFSc(RCPA) is Senior Staff Specialist in Haematology, Director of Research, Head of the Multiple Myeloma Research Unit and Thalassemia/Haemoglobinopathy Unit at the Institute of Haematology, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH).

She is Founding Director of Sydney Blood Cancer Research Insitute, the research foundation of the Institute of Haematology, RPAH. Since July 2019, she is also Acting Director of the Institute of Haematology.

Trained in Sydney (Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Concord Hospital, Centenary Institute of Cancer Medicine & Cell Biology), University of Oxford (Institute of Molecular Medicine) and Cornell University, New York (Department of Pathology and Laboratory Sciences, Weill Cornell Medical College), her work spans benign and malignant haematology, with particular interests in myeloma, lymphoma, immunotherapy and the haemoglobinopathies.

She continues to build a broad national portfolio of multi-centre clinical trials across a spectrum of haematological diseases including myeloma, lymphoma and thalassemia, bringing emerging new therapies to Australia, which have had a seminal effect on the care and clinical outcomes of patients.

In myeloma, Prof Ho is the Chief Investigator of the national multi-centre Australasian Leukemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) MM16 study assessing the effect of carfilzomib treatment on early free light chain kinetics in myeloma patients with renal impairment, an interim analysis of which has provided key data which may change the standard of care. Prof Ho’s portfolio of clinical trials in myeloma is expanding with Phase I studies in bi-specific T cell-engager antibodies and Mcl-1 inhibitors in relapsed/refractory myeloma.

In lymphoma, Prof Ho is Principal Investigator of the first clinical trial of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells in Australia, in relapsed diffuse large B cell lymphoma, with additional trials commencing in 2018.

As Head of the Myeloma Research Unit, Prof Ho and her colleagues are conducting innovative and comprehensive research into the structural heterogeneity of T cells in myeloma, using state-of-the-art technology of mass spectrometry and single cell transcriptome analysis.

In the haemoglobinopathies and iron metabolism, Prof Ho is currently the principal investigator of studies on two novel molecules in beta- thalassemia, an activin receptor fusion protein for its effect on ineffective erythropoiesis, and hepcidin in iron regulation. Prof Ho was chief investigator of a national multi-centre epidemiological study on the prevalence of cardiac and hepatic iron load in transfusion-dependent anaemias and non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia. This study established the role of cardiac and liver MRI monitoring as an innovative assessment modality and was awarded an oral presentation at the American Society of Hematology Annual Conference. She was also Chief Investigator of the national MILE study on the effect of iron chelation assessed by MRI, published in Eur J Hem in 2017. Prof Ho’s Thalassemia Unit was one of only two non-US based sites participating in the International Northstar study (HGB-204) of gene therapy for beta thalassaemia, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2017. She is also the lead author of the Australian Guidelines on Iron chelation in the thalassemias and haemoblobinopathies.

Dedicated to both national and international research and education, Prof Ho is Foundation Member of the Medical Scientific Advisory Group, Myeloma Foundation of Australia (since 2006) and Deputy Chair (since 2015), Chair of the Steering Committee of National Australian Haemoglobinopathy Registry (since 2012), member of the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) since its inception in 2010, invited member of American Society of Hematology (ASH) International Members’ Committee (since 2016) and the Steering subcommittee of the International ASH Highlights conferences (since 2018), member of International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) Scientific Advisory Board (since 2006) and IMF Education Committee (since 2015).

She was recently appointed Chair of the Metrics Subcommittee of the American Society of Haematology (ASH) International Members Committee, responsible for evaluating several ASH International Programmes benefiting international haematology communities - haematologists, scientists and trainees, namely the Visitors' Training Program (VTP), Partnership with Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) and Latin American Training Program (LATP).

Among many professional activities, Prof Ho was President of the of Haematology Society of Australia and New Zealand (2013-2015), having been Vice-President (2011-2013) and Council Member (2009-2015). Prof Ho was appointed a member of Australian Government Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) in 2017, on which she continues to serve. She was Chair (2015-2016) and member (2013-2014) of the Joint Specialist Advisory Committee in Haematology, Royal Australasian College of Physicians and Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia, Chair of Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) Laboratory Science Committee (2005-2011), Treasurer and member of ALLG Executive and Scientific Advisory Committee (2005-2011), Member of the National Leukemia & Lymphoma Tissue Bank Management Committee (2005-2015), Member of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Academy (2015 – 2016), Chair of Scientific Committee of the 10th International Myeloma Workshop, Sydney (2005), and President of Balliol Medical Society, Balliol College, University of Oxford (1996-1997).

Dr Ho has published in leading journals including New England Journal of Medicine, Blood and Leukemia.
