The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Clonal Evolution In Myelodysplasia And Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Following Azacitidine
Funder

Funding Amount
$853,005.00
Summary
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represent a spectrum of clinically heterogeneous malignancies that remain incurable in the vast majority of patients. Whilst the DNA mutations underpinning the initiation/maintenance of these malignancies are largely known we have little insight into how these mutations alter response to therapy. Using a range of sophisticated cutting edge technologies we will study how these DNA mutations evolve over the course of treatment.
Epigenetic Therapies As Molecular Probes To Investigate The Molecular Pathogenesis Of Leukaemia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$937,402.00
Summary
A major limitation to the success of targeted therapies in cancer is the fact that we have few if any tools to study in detail their mechanism of action within cancerous and normal cells. If we were able to visualise these drugs within cells and precisely characterise the proteins, DNA and RNA within a cell that interact with these therapies we will be able to identify strategies that can optimise their efficacy and reduce the side-effects of these treatments.
Roles Of The EMT Transcription Factors In Epigenetic Remodelling And Myeloid Cell Transformation.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$809,520.00
Summary
This project is based upon our novel discoveries that identified ZEB2 and SNAI1 as novel genes involved in the development of aggressive forms of blood cancer. During the course of this proposal we will find new drug targets and new drug treatment options using existing drugs that will specifically target cancer initiating cells in order to kill aggressive forms of blood cancers that are currently refractory to treatment.
Glucocorticoid Resistance In Paediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$394,721.00
Summary
Glucocorticoids are among the most effective drugs used in the treatment of many haematological malignancies, including leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. However, the development of tumour cell resistance to these drugs remains a significant problem, and clinically relevant mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance remain poorly understood. This project aims to define mechanisms of resistance to glucocorticoids and develop new drugs to reverse resistance.
