Announcing the successful applicants of the SPHERE/Sydney Cancer Partners Strategic Enhancement Grant

Published on:
Maridulu Budyari Gumal (SPHERE) Cancer CAG and Sydney Cancer Partners (SCP) have awarded two Strategic Enhancement Grants, a joint and co-funded initiative designed to build translational cancer research capacity in NSW. The scheme supports leaders of mature, translational cancer research programs which span both SCP and SPHERE member institutions, to facilitate successful applications for significant funding from national, international or commercial sources.

Professor Jeff Holst from UNSW Sydney and Associate Professor James Wilmott from the Melanoma Institute Australia & The University of Sydney will co-lead a project to validate a physiological ex vivo platform to rapidly test novel immunotherapy combinations in patient tumours.

Professor Hilda Pickett from the Children’s Medical Research Institute & The University of Sydney and Associate Professor Liz Caldon from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research are coming together to lead a program investigating telomere remodelling in drug resistant breast cancer.
Each team has been awarded $280,000 over two years with funding from the Cancer Institute NSW’s Translational Cancer Research Capacity Building grants held by Sydney Health Partners and Maridulu Budyari Gumal (SPHERE).
