$2 million awarded to Alfred Health and Monash University in Victoria to establish the ACRF Centre for Dynamic Immuno-Oncology.
This innovative research initiative aims to address key challenges in cancer immunotherapy. Tapping into the power of advanced immune-monitoring technologies, the team will track the immune responses in patients, improving the safety and effectiveness of current and future immune-based cancer treatments.
The core goals of the program are to: • Track how a person’s immune system responds to immunotherapy in real-time. • Predict potential toxicities by identifying early signs of adverse effects or neurotoxicity. • Personalise the patient’s treatment through tailored immunotherapy approaches.
