Centre for Cancer Research Student Projects

Led by Institute Director, Professor Bryan Williams scientists working in the Centre for Cancer Research are dedicated to studying the impact of cancer incidence, in an effort to learn more about the growth and development of different cancers and to discover new cancer therapies. The Cancer Research team carries out its own research, but also collaborates closely with scientists from MIMR’s other centres and the Monash Health Research Precinct to share expertise, resources and knowledge into a range of cancers, including breast, endometrial, ovarian, stomach and prostate cancers as well as leukaemia. CCR scientists are particularly interested in the link between inflammatory processes and cancer as well as the role of cancer stem cells.

Student projects for 2009 are available in all of the Centre's research areas:

• Cancer & innate immunity
• Cancer & developmental biology
• Oncogenic signalling
• Cell adhesion signalling
• Cancer metasteses
