Simone’s overarching research aim focusses on advancement in our understanding on the role of platelets in arterial thrombosis, through fundamental discovery research.Specific areas of focus include delineating the role of cell death pathways in blood clot formation, and the discovery and ongoing investigation of a novel regulator of blood clot formation – PI 3-kinase p110beta.
Her work continues to be published in high impact journals in the field, with 62 career publications (cumulative career h-index - 38; totalcitations -5090), in journals including Nature Medicine,NatureCommunications, Science Translational Medicine, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Blood, and Circulation.
She also has a keen interest in the translation of basic research findings from the lab, and in her part-time role as head of biology forKinaciaPty Ltd., she co-invented a new class of PI3K inhibitors (1999-2004) and directed their development (Jackson, Schoenwaelder et al, Nature Medicine, 2005).
Contribution to research training: A/Prof Schoenwaelder has successfully supervised 11 honours students (all awarded H1), co-supervised 1 Masters student and supervised/co-supervised to completion 3 PhD students. She has developed summer scholarship and undergraduate training programs at Monash University, and has played a major role in coordinating/delivering undergraduate teaching programs at Monash University (Human Pathology HUP3011/HUP3022) as well as more recently at the University of Sydney.
