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.

Osteosarcoma is the most common tumour of bone. Recent success in targeting immune checkpoint blockers such as Programmed death-1 (PD-1) in genomically complex tumours suggests that osteosarcomas may be amenable to such strategies. We will characterise the role of the PD-1 pathway in osteosarcoma development and growth. Using preclinical mouse models we will investigate the biology of the PD-1 pathway and study its potential as a therapeutic target in advanced and resectable osteosarcoma.

Summary
Cancers of the stomach and the colon are a major health burden. Despite our increased molecular understanding of the mutation that cause these cancers our treatment options are very limited. Here we will use sophisticated and validated mouse models for these cancers to establish how blood-borne cells contribute to the growth and spreading of these cancer. We will use these models to establish highly effective treatment combinations of therapeutic agents that are already undergoing preclinical te ....Cancers of the stomach and the colon are a major health burden.
