Projects enabling the rapid translation of research to quickly and effectively act on health threats such as cancer and infectious disease.
Researchers from the University of Melbourne and Peter Doherty Institute are leading the first flagship genomic innovation projects, leading the way for the future pipeline of commercially focused genomics innovation projects to utilise the partnership's infrastructure and expertise. The Cancer of Low Survival and Unmet Need health systems innovation project aims to improve diagnosis and provide more targeted and effective treatments for cancers of unmet need.
