Summary
Through a process of discovery, development and investigation we will create medical devices and methods to improve cancer imaging and targeted radiotherapy. Successful completion of this program will directly impact on the treatment and lives of Australian cancer patients in the foreseeable future.This program will substantially build research capacity and productivity within Australia, raise Australia’s profile in cancer research and foster international collaboration.
This fellowship supports continuing work on statistical methods and applications for the detection and characterization of genes involved in complex diseases, notably melanoma, but a number of related characteristics such as skin hair and eye colour, moles and freckling. The other complex disease I work on are the allergic disease, where I am involved in both human and animal based studies of allergic dermatitis and asthma.The types of data to be analysed include genome-wide genotype data and ev ....This fellowship supports continuing work on statistical methods and applications for the detection and characterization of genes involved in complex diseases, notably melanoma, but a number of related characteristics such as skin hair and eye colour, moles and freckling. The other complex disease I work on are the allergic disease, where I am involved in both human and animal based studies of allergic dermatitis and asthma.The types of data to be analysed include genome-wide genotype data and eventually whole genome sequence data.Read moreRead less
