Dr Birrell is a breast cancer specialist and an internationally renowned expert in the field of hormonal management of breast disease with a diverse professional and research interests in breast oncology, biotechnology, laboratory and clinical research. His early research was seminal in explaining how conventional hormone replacement therapy increased the risk of developing breast cancer and was one of the first to identify the importance of androgens in the regulation of breast disease and hormone replacement therapy.

As a founder, entrepreneur and inventor, Dr Birrell has enjoyed an extremely successful 30-year career championing innovation in both clinical medicine as a breast cancer specialist and surgeon as founder/pioneer of three leading Australian multidisciplinary breast centres, in both the public and private sectors, and in medical research and development as a distinguished medical innovator and widely published molecular oncologist in leading journals, including Nature. Dr Birrell was the founder of Australia’s first public and private multidisciplinary breast cancer clinics, a model that is now accepted as the only way to assess breast disease, and Flinders University’s internationally recognised and novel lymphedema management clinic.

Dr Birrell is a consultant to the internationally acclaimed Dame Roma Mitchell Cancer Research Laboratories at Adelaide University run by his long-term scientific partner, Professor Wayne Tilley. Dr Birrell is a National Cancer Institute (USA) certified cancer trialist.
