She graduated from the University of Melbourne with degrees in Medicine, Surgery and Medical Science and completed dual fellowship training in clinical and laboratory haematology, becoming a Fellow of both the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia in 2022.
Following specialist training, Dr Rahman undertook a Myeloma Fellowship at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and a dedicated CAR T-cell Fellowship at Alfred Health. She then trained in London as an Early Phase Clinical Trials Fellow at the NIHR Clinical Research Facility, University College London Hospital, working across multiple myeloma, lymphoma and leukaemia trials, before completing a Bone Marrow Transplant and CAR-T Fellowship at King’s College Hospital. She returned to Alfred Health in 2026 as a Bone Marrow Transplant Fellow, with a particular focus on allogeneic stem cell transplantation, pre-transplant assessment and post-transplant care.
This breadth of training gives Dr Rahman experience across the continuum of malignant haematology, from diagnosis and conventional systemic therapy through to transplant, bispecific antibody treatment, CAR T-cell therapy and other advanced cellular approaches. She is also involved in clinical research, teaching and service development and is committed to collaborative, patient-centred care.
Special Interests:
Multiple myeloma, stem cell transplantation, CAR T-cell and other cellular therapies, early-phase clinical trials and equitable access to cancer research. Dr Rahman has contributed to peer-reviewed research in malignant haematology, including publications on CAR-positive T-cell lymphoma after cilta-cel therapy in relapsed or refractory myeloma, real-world outcomes in myelodysplastic neoplasms, acute leukaemia presentations during the COVID-19 pandemic and coagulation testing. She has also contributed to equity-focused projects with Blood Cancer UK, Cancer Research UK and University College London aimed at improving access to clinical trials for minority ethnic communities, and has presented transplant research at the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Annual Meeting.
