MIMR's newest research centre, the Centre for Cancer Research, was established in January 2006. 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.
