About Ben

Dr Ben Dwyer serves as Senior Research Fellow in the Curtin Medical Research Institute and Curtin Medical School at Curtin University. He leads the Patient-Derived Organoid Platform, directs the Western Australian Organoid Innovation Hub, and heads the Liver Cancer Collaborative Patient-Derived Organoid Platform. His research centers on patient-derived organoid models to investigate liver pathophysiology, including liver cancer such as cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, macrophage biology, and chronic liver disease. Dwyer develops precision bio-printed organoids and tumour organoids from patient samples, enabling the simulation of cancer growth, immune interactions, and drug responses in vitro. This approach facilitates screening for therapeutic targets, optimization of treatments, and personalized predictions of therapy efficacy, addressing the poor prognosis of liver cancer where five-year survival stands at 23 percent due to late-stage diagnosis and limited surgical options.
