FREE EVENT
Join us in person or online at our upcoming event ‘Advances in Cancer Research: A Community Forum’
To be hosted by Centenary’s Acting Deputy Director and Head of the Centre for Cancer Innovations, Dr Jessamy Tiffen the event will bring together scientists from the Centre for Cancer Innovations who will provide updates on their current cancer research projects.
Topics to be covered include melanoma, pancreatic, liver, mouth and throat and cornea cancers, therapy resistance and new ways to detect and treat cancers.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia – and in 2024, 3 in 10 deaths were attributable to cancer.1
The Centre for Cancer Innovations research is focused on enhancing treatment outcomes for cancer patients. The laboratories within the Centre employ innovative approaches to decipher the complex genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying various cancer types. The ultimate goal of the Centre’s research is to advance the development of highly effective, precisely targeted treatments.
We hope you will be able to join us either in person at the Centenary Institute or online.
For guests who can attend in person, the event will conclude with light refreshments and the opportunity to chat with our Centre for Cancer Innovations researchers.

About our Centre for Cancer Innovations
Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer the body’s cells begin to grow uncontrollably. The role of cancer research is to find ways to halt this growth.
The impact of cancer on our community
- Almost one in two Australian men and women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.1
- Males continue to be more likely to be diagnosed with cancer although the difference between males and females in 2024 is less than it was in 2000.1
- Cancer incidence rates for the young are increasing with 20,000 cancer cases estimated to have been diagnosed in the population aged under 50 in 2024.1
