Dr. Goode is a Senior Lecturer and head of the Cancer Bioinformatics and Tumour Evolution group in the Monash University Dept of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology  and the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. 

His research applies bioinformatics, molecular evolution and population genetics to large cancer genomics data sets to study how tumours evolve and adapt. Areas of active interest include how changes in gene regulation and microenvironmental factors lead to phenotypic plasticity and therapy resistance in cancer cells. 

Dr Goode's group have  strong track records in prostate cancer and brain cancer, but have worked across a range of solid tumours. We take an evolutionary lens to cancer 'omics to study all stages of tumour evolution, through in-depth analysis of large genome, RNA sequencing and spatial profiling data sets from cancer patients and laboratory models of cancer. Increasingly, we incorporate machine learning and computational modeling to address questions of translational importance.

Dr Goode has published 59 peer-reviewed articles, with an H-index of 24 (Web of Science) and senior author publications in Genome Biology, PNAS and eLife, among others. He has held a Mid-Career Fellowship from the Victorian Cancer Agency (2018-2023) and a Peter Dohery Early Career Fellowship from the NHMRC (2013-2016).
