Overview
Background
Dr Mollee practices as a consultant haematologist in clinical and laboratory haematology at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and is Associate Professor with the University of Queensland Medical School.
Having trained in Brisbane and Toronto, Dr Mollee has developed an international reputation studying amyloidosis and the plasma cell dyscrasias. He holds appointments with the Medical Scientific Advisory Group of Myeloma Australia, Australian Amyloidosis Network, National Blood Cancer Taskforce and is a member of the AACB Monoclonal Gammopathy Working Group and the International Kidney & Monoclonal Gammopathy Research Group. He is a past Chairman of the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) and current Chair of the Australian Amyloidosis Network. He heads the Myeloma Service as well as the Queensland Amyloidosis Centre which runs one of the few clinics in Australia dedicated exclusively to the care of patients with amyloidosis.

Research impacts
The research of the Queensland Amyloidosis Centre aims to improved the diagnosis, monitoring and therapy of all types of amyloidosis. The Centre, in collaboration with Pathology Queensland and the Translational Research Institute, developed laser capture macrodisscution and tandem mass spectrometry analysis to accurately diagnosis the type of amyloidosis that patients have and have introuduced this assay into the clinical laboratory. Research to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of this rare disease has also assessed immunoglobulin free light chain assays, bone scintigraphy and novel radionuclide PET tracers. The Queensland Amyloidosis Centre maintains an active clinical trial program in amyloidosis therapies including both investigator-initiated and commercial studies.
