She has been subsequently awarded the prestigious Rebecca Gumley Leukaemia Foundation Fellowship to continue her research work into pathogen- and tumour-specific T cells. Her research work has resulted in a number of publications in high-impact journals and presentations at national and international conferences. Her work was awarded the highest-scoring abstract at the International Society of Cellular Therapies Australia/New Zealand conference in 2019, and she was a finalist for the Baikie award for Outstanding Original Research in 2020. She continues to be involved as a research lead in a number of investigator-led T cell therapy trials.

Dr Jiang has a keen interest in malignant haematology, allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and cellular therapies. Her research interests are in immune reconstitution and exploration of how the immune system may be modified to treat and prevent relapse of haematological cancers.
