Prostate Cancer
Our group is concerned with the identification of markers for
therapeutic responsiveness, prognostic markers, and new markers of
early prostate disease. We take a multidisciplinary approach that
utilises expertise from a number of cancer researchers within and
outside the Garvan, as well as clinicians and pathologists. Our
research aims to identify genes and pathways whose expression changes
can predict the development of aggressive life-threatening prostate
cancer or resistance to chemotherapy used for the treatment of advanced
stage prostate cancer.
