World Cancer Day – Feb 4 // Professor Philip Hog World Cancer Day – Feb 4 // Professor Philip Hogg, Head of the ACRF Centenary Cancer Research Centre, is tackling the problem of residual disease in cancer that plagues current therapies. 

Current drugs may take out most of the tumour but a fraction often remains that is naturally resistant to the therapy, or becomes resistant as a result of the therapy. This fraction can then regrow. This means that current cancer drugs become less and less effective with each administration as the tumour is increasingly resistant to the drug. 

Prof Hogg and his team have devised a therapy, called CDI. CDI is a type of theranostic – a pairing of a diagnostic with a therapy – which latches onto the tumour and delivers a tumour killer. It is designed to become more and more effective with each administration. It should work against all types of solid tumours and by generating a self-amplifying cascade of tumour cell kill could overcome the problem of residual disease in cancer therapy. 

After years of hard work, CDI is now well into clinical development and he is excited it will be part of the next generation of cancer treatments.

Associate Professor Andy Philp is the Director of Associate Professor Andy Philp is the Director of the Centre for Healthy Ageing at the Centenary Institute and an internationally recognised expert in the biology of ageing. 

He is fascinated by the ageing process and what we can do to reduce its impacts. The Centre's objective is to understand ageing and how it is the most important risk factor for many of the major chronic diseases.

His work as Head of the Biology of Ageing Program, is currently looking at the positive effects of exercise in ageing. He and his team are investigating how exercise can lessen the impact of muscle wastage and improve quality of life in the older adults.
