Announcing the inaugural SCP Translational Partners Fellows
Published on:
Sydney Cancer Partners has awarded two Translational Partners Fellowships in a unique scheme that pairs a researcher with a clinician-researcher.
The joint fellowships – each of which is worth up to $300,000 per year over three years - are designed to develop a cancer research group or initiative that spans from the laboratory to the clinic.
Postdoctoral research fellow Dr Dannel Yeo from The Centenary Institute at The University of Sydney and Clinical Associate Professor Kate Mahon from Chris O’Brien Lifehouse will work together to explore ways to improve the management and outcomes for patients with colorectal and appendiceal cancers that have metastasised to the peritoneum.
The second partnership brings together paediatric oncologist Dr Bhavna Padhye from the Children’s Hospital Westmead and computational biologist, Dr Rebecca Poulos from the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) who will work to embed newly developed, clinically relevant, proteomic technology into the cancer clinic.
