In the midst of a worldwide effort, Peter Mac is in a powerful position to help in the war on cancer.  Peter Mac is one of a handful of comprehensive cancer centres outside the United States and our facility in East Melbourne houses the largest dedicated cancer research group in Australia, with over 400 researchers, support staff and students.   Our work ranges from laboratory-based studies into the fundamental mechanisms of cell growth, translational studies that seek more accurate cancer diagnosis and to improve treatment outcomes, clinical trials with novel treatments, through to research aimed at improving our supportive care of patients.
