Understanding ovarian cancer progression and response to chemotherapyActive Australia
General cancer research
This project is trying to better understand certain cancer mutations in the hope of discovering clues towards new treatments for a range of cancer types.
Researcher: Dr Lee Wong
Finding new treatment targets by tackling cancer’s immortalityComplete Germany
Oral cancer
This project hopes to discover how to cut of cancer’s energy supply so it can’t spread, making it easier to treat and improving outcomes for patients.
Researcher: Dr Michaela Frye
Starving cancer to stop metastasisActive New Zealand
General cancer research
Radiotherapy doesn’t work for all cancer patients so this project hopes to kickstart a new drug that could work in combination to improve patient outcomes.
Researcher: Dr Jo K Perry
