Our Research

Our vision is to save the lives of all children with cancer and eliminate their suffering. To achieve this vision, our research programs attack childhood cancer on several fronts:

• ACRF Drug Discovery Program - Developing new agents for diagnosis and treatment.
• Cancer Cell Development Group - Investigating cancer-causing genes.
• Cancer Genetics Group - Investigating inherited and acquired genetic variations within human and cancer genomes.
• Experimental Therapeutics Program - Finding better treatments.
• Leukaemia Biology Program - Understanding leukaemia.
• Long Term Follow Up Project - Following up childhood cancer survivors.
• Molecular Carcinogenesis Program - Investigating the formation and progression of cancer.
• Molecular Diagnostics Program - Improving diagnosis and investigating prevention.
• Molecular Epidemiology Group - Investigating the causes and possible prevention of cancer in children.
• Pharmacoproteomics Program - Understanding and overcoming drug resistance.
