Dr Aude Dorison is a Team Leader in the Kidney Regeneration group at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), a University of Melbourne Honorary Fellow and an Associate Investigator with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine, reNEW, where her work focuses on kidney disease modelling and new therapies.

Dr Dorison has over 10 years of experience in kidney research and began her journey into stem cells in 2017 at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute (VCCRI). In 2019, she moved to Melbourne to join MCRI and pursued her passion as a renal pathophysiologist working with stem cell-derived models of the kidney to unravel disease mechanisms and identify potential treatments via high-throughput screening.

Her research has been featured in leading journals in the kidney field including Development (2019), The Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN, 2020, 2021, 2023) and Kidney International (2018, 2022). Her 2023 JASN publication was the first study exploring the pathophysiology of NPHS2-associated nephrotic syndrome in kidney organoids. It was the topic of an editorial by colleagues at the University of Manchester (Pinyuan Tian and Rachel Lennon, JASN 2023, 34(1):2-4.) and was highlighted by the JASN in a monthly podcast.

Dr Dorison has received 12 prizes and travel awards including the inaugural international 2024 reNEW ECR Publication Award recognising exceptional and impactful research publications.

A strong advocate for early career researchers (ECR) and women in science, Dr Dorison has been active on several ECR committees (VCCRI, Stem Cells Australia, MCRI, the Australiasian Society for Stem Cell Research), Women in Science Parkville Precinct (WiSPP) and the MCRI Beyond Mentoring Programs.
