OncoFetal Ecosystem Lab

Leading cancer biologist joins Garvan garvan.org.au/news-resources… 🎉 Yay!! We have officially opened our doors at @GarvanInstitute. Join us, and let’s make #PRECISION medicine in liver cancer a reality #immunotherapy #Vaccines #ClinicalTrials

These results provide initial evidence that LLMs have begun to reshape scientific production, challenging our assumptions about research quality and communication. With this, science policy must consider how institutions could evolve. [8/n]

Promising to be a great inaugural conference. Registration is open now. Hurry up and grab your tickets.

I am very proud to be part of the amazing team of researchers, scientists and clinicians who are all co-authors of the important research publication just released in Nature Medicine. The paper documents changes in my brain tumour & blood before and after I received neoadjuvant systemic combination immunotherapy treatment, which occurred in 2023. Everyone involved, including lead authors Georgina Long and Helen Rizos, used their expertise, knowledge and creative intellect to generate this important data just released. Whilst the paper deals with the data from just one patient (me), ultimately a clinical trial of a large group of patients needs to be conducted to determine whether or not neoadjuvant (pretreatment) combination immunotherapy is clinically effective in (a subgroup of) brain cancer patients. I hope such a trial begins in the not too distant future. Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to this research. What a fantastic achievement! But this is only the beginning & much more research is required to improve treatment and outcomes and ultimately save lives. @SydneyLHD @NthSydHealth @Sydney_Uni @COBLH #glioblastoma

Garvan researchers will lead a project to map 2,000 cancer samples, aiming to understand why treatments vary across patients and cancer types. This initiative involves one of the largest collaborative cancer studies between Australia and Japan. ow.ly/bLcu50UZTPM

Five months into new gig! Here we are building world class team in Oncofetal research at @GarvanInstitute ! We are looking for a computational biologist with proven track record in spatial biology, if you are keen to explore neighbourhoods drop a text :)

Excited to see @EACRnews picking our @NatureCancer article on implications of #oncofetal signatures to stratify HCC patients. Next, we are systematically evaluating this in a phase-II clinical trial funded by @nhmrc magazine.eacr.org/highlights-in-…

We are pleased to welcome to our Faculty Dr Ankur Sharma, who brings with him a leading expertise in cancer biology and an existing program of clinical translation. @‌asharmaiisc Find out more on Dr Sharma: ow.ly/ftQT50Sv6kL

A fascinating talk by Dr Eric Green @NHGRI_Director at @GarvanInstitute taking us through the length and breadth of the Genomics revolution and talking about challenges and opportunities which lies ahead

Eric Green @NHGRI_Director in the @GarvanInstitute!! A truly inspirational and visionary leader of Genomics 🧬 #genomicmedicine

Welcome Ankur Sharma, PhD as our new Senior Editor of Emerging Technologies and Data Science. Celebrated for his groundbreaking discovery of the oncofetal ecosystem in #livercancer, he's a leading expert in single-cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics. @asharmaiisc

#newbegining I'm very excited to announce my move @GarvanInstitute after ~3.5 years in Perth. It's time to move closer to my collaborative network in beautiful and bustling Sydney. I couldn't have imagined a better place for my science & intellectual quest than Garvan, Australia's powerhouse of Genomics, Cancer & Immunology
