DrDulari Kaushalya Jayarathna Hakamuwa Lekamlage

I am a Research Fellow in Biostatistics at the Institute for Mental and Physical Health and Clinical Translation (IMPACT), Deakin University. My research applies statistical and computational methods to clinical trials and epidemiological studies in mental health. I previously worked at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health and the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, focusing on clinical trial design, analysis, and cross-cohort prediction methods.

I completed my PhD in bioinformatics at Queensland University of Technology, where I investigated risk-associated non-coding RNAs in hormonal cancers. With a background in both biostatistics and bioinformatics, I have a strong interest in interdisciplinary research bridging biology, statistics, and data science.

In addition to my research, I actively contribute to academic committees and community engagement through conference organisation, workshops, and training activities.
