Professor Hamish Scott
  • Biography/ Background

    Professor Hamish Scott did his PhD (1992) and first post-doc at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and the University of Adelaide. During these 7 years he led the discovery of genes for 3 rare human diseases. After 11 more years, with the persistence of Professor John Hopwood and others in academia and industry, this resulted in either FDA approved therapy (2003) or clinical trials of novel therapies for these diseases.

     In 1995, Hamish moved to the University of Geneva Medical School in Switzerland. His focus was, and remains, the application of genetic and genomic technologies to understand diseases processes to improve diagnoses and treatment. He led international collaborations in identification of human genes causing Down syndrome and rare forms of genetic deafness and autoimmunity (e.g. arthritis and multiple sclerosis). This continues to have profound effects on our understanding of basic biology of Down syndrome, hearing and the immune system and lead to new therapeutic strategies in these and related diseases. This was also the start of his interest in cancer and leukemia as children with Down syndrome have a low incidence of solid tumours and a high incidence of leukemia. This is also when he started to work on familial predisposition to leukemia.

    Hamish relocated to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in Melbourne in 2000 as the Inaugural Nossal Leadership Fellow. He was appointed as a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) senior research fellow in 2001. His laboratory identified 2 additional deafness genes and described the role of a gene in reprogramming the DNA of an “adult” cell from “normal” to become a gamete (sperm or oocyte). He also described a cause of familial predisposition to leukemia.

    Since returning to Adelaide in January 2008 he has been Deputy and then Head of the Department of Molecular Pathology at SA Pathology, He is an inaugural member of the Centre for Cancer Biology an Affiliate Professor in both the Schools of Medicine and Molecular and Biomedical Science at the University of Adelaide and an Adjunct Professor in  of the University of South Australia. He is an NHMRC principal research fellow and a Founding Fellow of the Faculty of Science (FFSc) of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA). He recently led the identification of mutations in a gene in rare families and patients that predisposed them to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), infectious diseases and lymphoedema. He has helped develop and introduce new technologies and tests for improved treatment (personalized medicine), in particular CML, and is a Joint Director of the ACRF Cancer Genome Facility established at SA Pathology.

    He has led recent international collaborations published in Nat Genet and Blood (x2) on identification of germline mutations in rare families and patients that predispose them to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), infectious diseases, lymphoedema (in GATA2 Embergers syndrome and familial MDS/AML) and diverse hematologic malignancies (in DDX41). This has lead international recognition of the fact that there can be a substantive, sometimes monogenic, predisoposition to haematological malignancies and response to treatments.

    He is a Joint Director of the CCB ACRF Cancer Genome Facility established at SA Pathology, the Facilitator of the Genomics, Genetics and Drugable Targets pillar, of the South Australian Comprehensive Cancer Consortium, on the Executive Committee of the South Australian Cancer Research Biobank and the National Steering Committee of the newly NHMRC funded Australian Genomics Health Alliance. In these roles he has been central to introducing introduce new technologies for both somatic and germline genotyping (e.g. using next generation sequencing to SA Pathology at a panel, exome and whole genome level) for improved diagnoses and treatment (personalized medicine) for which his team won an SA Health Award for Excellence.

  • Research Interests

    Research Outputs
    1. Genetics and pathologic mechanisms of haematological malignancy (HM = leukaemia and lymphoma) predisposition and progressionOur laboratory focuses on disease gene discovery and confirmation utilizing latest genomic technologies. We have accrued samples from over 90 families with predisposition to HM, which are invaluable resource for the identification of genetic and epigenetic changes leading to these and other cancers. Using a combination of strategies including state-of-the-art whole exome and genome next generation sequencing, we have found additional genes that segregate with diseased individuals in some of these families and/or are mutated in sporadic samples. We continue to hunt for additional genes/mutations in families and sporadic samples. Functional studies on potential and identified genes in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo in mice continue to expose mechanisms for predisposition and progression to HM.

    2. Diagnostic implementation of NGS for personalised medicineNext generation sequencing has the power to dramatically increase diagnostic test efficiencies, including pricing, and help in personalised medicine for genetic diseases and cancer. We are implementing NGS sequencing tests including panel sequencing for cancers such as lung, melanoma and colorectal, and whole exome sequencing for genetic diseases such as inherited familial cancers.

    3. Genetic autopsy of perinatal death: diagnosis and discovery by Whole Genome Sequencing The causes of perinatal death and genetic termination of pregnancy (GTOP) often cannot be established despite autopsy and extensive investigation, often with long term psychological consequences for families. Establishing a cause of perinatal death or congenital abnormalities relies on post-mortem examination, which includes analysis of tissue samples, x-rays, chromosome studies and DNA-based testing. Despite this, the cause is often not identified. The advent of whole genome sequencing (WGS) has provided a powerful new tool for genetic testing. We are implementing WGS analysis to diagnose "unsolved" perinatal death and GTOP cases, which, together with functional assays, will also provide insights into the genetic mechanisms that underlie them.

    Current Research & Highlights
    All disease processes in humans have a genetic component, either inherited or acquired by somatic mutation during cell division. It is important to identify genes and mutations that cause disease, predispose families to diseases, or are acquired during disease progression as these are important diagnostic and prognostic markers. They also provide direct targets and biological pathways for therapeutic intervention.

    The Molecular Pathology department is co-located with the ACRF Cancer Genomics Facility, which provides access to powerful cutting edge genetic/genomic technologies including bioinformatics, next-generation sequencing and sample preparation robotics. The Department performs both basic and translational research, which includes implementing these new technologies into its diagnostic tests for personalized medicine.
