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.

Further Characterisation Of The Role Of HSSB1 In DNA Repair And Breast Cancer
Funder

Funding Amount
$85,526.00
Summary
To date, all breast cancer predisposition genes identified play an important role in the DNA damage repair pathway. We have characterised a new protein designated as hSSB1, which plays a crucial role in the maintenance of genomic stability by protecting us from DNA damage. Significantly, evidence strongly suggests an interaction of hSSB1 with the breast cancer susceptibility protein BRCA2. This project will investigate the role of hSSB1 in breast cancer predisposition and DNA damage repair.
Identification And Characterisation Of Amplified Oncogenes In Liposarcoma
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$354,293.00
Summary
Liposarcoma is the commonest single subtype of sarcomas, a group of cancers that disproportionately affects the young. The overall mortality for liposarcomas is approximately 50%. Chemotherapy may temporarily controlling disease in under a third of patients, but is toxic and cannot achieve cure. We have identified new potential therapeutic targets, and aim to develop these in the clinic.
