Transforming lives through successful collaboration and patient-centric impact

As part of the national cancer effort, our work has delivered significant results for those touched by cancer. Successful collaboration and institutional partnership have proven to be fundamental to our success and have led to the generation and dissemination of new knowledge, and successful application to the benefit of patients.

Annual Lecture Series

Our Annual Public Lecture series explores key questions, vital insights and the latest breakthroughs into cancer research and treatment.

Each year we explore a topic from our core research programs in depth, hosted by our leading researchers to reveal insights into critical and emerging issues, demonstrate the latest groundbreaking research of our researchers, and present new possibilities in healthcare and treatments to come.

Available as both in-person at our Adelaide University City campus and online, these public lectures provide opportunity for discussion, questions and opportunity to engage with our cancer research team.
