Deanne has had a long association with UNSW with experience in clinical trials & orthopaedic research and commenced working as a formal part of the St George and Sutherland Campuses of the School of Clinical Medicine in 2023. She holds an undergraduate degree in science (biological, microbiology) and higher degrees in clinical trials research and a PhD in medicine. As an early career researcher, she has secured ~$5M (MRFF, NHMRC, SIRA, UNSW, RHRF) in grant funding (CI/AI), including as Chief Investigator of two musculoskeletal clinical trials and a Southwest Sydney Clinical School postgraduate scholarship.

Her thesis explored the benefits and harms of opioid use in orthopaedic surgery, investigating prescription opioid use and dependence in orthopaedic trauma and end-stage osteoarthritis populations, then developed and tested, a novel pain management approach, the "less-is-more" approach, for fracture surgery.

Blake's current research aims to develop computational biomechanical models of the shoulder to assist clinicians in pre-operative planning of reverse shoulder arthroplasty procedures.

Prior to joining SCORe, Blake was awarded a PhD in 2020 from Aston University, UK for his thesis 'An in-vitro model to study wound healing in external fracture fixation'. He has also held a postdoctoral fellowship position at the University of Leeds, UK, where he used cadaveric models to develop and optimise decellularised osteochdonral grafts. Blake has multiple peer reviewed publications and has presented at international conferences across the globe.
