Lung Cancer Research Network
World-class researchers from some of Australia’s best universities and hospitals come together at the Centre for Lung Cancer Research to form the Lung Cancer Research Network.
The Network, made up of over 20 research teams, forms a multidisciplinary group of basic and applied researchers and clinicians, with more to join as the centre expands.
At this one-of-a kind facility, researchers can share results and innovate faster, advancing the field of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment as has never been seen before.
THE NETWORK'S MISSION
Our Network has one vision: to develop innovative solutions that will improve the healthcare outcomes and quality of life for people suffering with lung cancer.
- The Lung Cancer Research Network brings together teams from hospitals, universities, networks and medical research institutes to focus on a common goal – multi-disciplinary teams developing an integrated approach to studying and treating lung cancers.
- The Network links researchers with clinicians and healthcare providers across five core areas: patient interface, mechanism of disease, drug discovery, modelling disease/drug evaluation and drug delivery and technology.
OUR NETWORK
The Network links researchers with clinicians and health care providers across five core areas: patient interface, mechanism of disease, drug discovery, modelling disease/drug evaluation, and drug delivery and technology. This unique approach allows for a truly translational path to treating lung cancer, since each arm can provide scientific input, material and knowledge that support research in the other arms. Excitingly, this collaborative environment allows for an almost unlimited number of ‘multi- disciplinary’ projects.
To rapidly translate innovative approaches to diagnosing and treating lung cancer, the Network has established a number of Core Translational Projects.
TRACK RECORD IN LUNG CANCER RESEARCH
The Network’s founding research teams have a proven track record in research and clinical excellence.
- They see 7,000 respiratory and cancer patients a year
- They have published over 2,200 peer-reviewed journal articles between them
- Their research across cancer biology, drug discovery, drug delivery clinical management and treatment has attracted more than $120 million in grant income over the past five years
- They have graduated more than 130 higher degree research students in the same period
With this experience and reach, they’re perfectly placed to engage with patients, funders and industry to fuel desperately-needed growth in lung cancer research and lung cancer treatment.
