Career Summary
Biography
Dr Bond is an Early Career Research Associate in the School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy. She is based at the Central Coast campus of the University of Newcastle, working within the cancer research hub at Ourimbah in association with the Hunter Cancer Research Alliance (HCRA) and HMRI. She uses cutting-edge technology to test novel synthetic and natural products for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, as part of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Group, and is identifying blood markers in prostate cancer patients to help predict patient prognosis to current and new cancer treatments.
Dr Bond is primarily interested in pancreatic cancer as it has a very low survival rate and prostate cancer due to its high incidence rate among Australian men. She completed her PhD in Medical Biochemistry, which focused on breast and prostate cancers at the University of Newcastle in 2015. Since 2015, Dr Bond has been testing novel, natural and synthetic compounds as anti-pancreatic cancer agents and has been investigating blood markers for prostate cancer.
She has presented her work at both national and international conferences and continues to publish her findings, has helped organise local scientific meetings and has been an RHD representative for the school research committee. Dr Bond has received pilot grant funding through the Faculty of Health at the University of Newcastle and project funding from HMRI.

Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Nerve infiltration is essential to prostate cancer progression, but the mechanism by which nerves are attracted to prostate tumors remains unknown. We report that the precursor of nerve growth factor (proNGF) is overexpressed in prostate cancer and involved in the ability of prostate cancer cells to induce axonogenesis. A series of 120 prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) samples were analyzed by IHC for proNGF. ProNGF was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells, with marked expression in cancer compared with BPH. Importantly, the proNGF level positively correlated with the Gleason score (n = 104, t < inf > B < /inf > = 0.51). A higher level of proNGF was observed in tumors with a Gleason score of =8 compared with a Gleason score of 7 and 6 (P < 0.001). In vitro, proNGF was detected in LNCaP, DU145, and PC-3 prostate cancer cells and BPH-1 cells but not in RWPE-1 immortalized nontumorigenic prostate epithelial cells or primary normal prostate epithelial cells. Co-culture of PC12 neuronal-like cells or 50B11 neurons with PC-3 cells resulted in neurite outgrowth in neuronal cells that was inhibited by blocking antibodies against proNGF, indicating that prostate cancer cells can induce axonogenesis via secretion of proNGF. These data reveal that ProNGF is a biomarker associated with high-risk prostate cancers and a potential driver of infiltration by nerves.
