Organisational Structure


Organisational Structure - Research at Peter Mac

The close physical location of the laboratories and the clinic makes for a dynamic interplay whereby each informs the research program of the other.

Over 400 researchers are based in 24 research laboratories within six key research programs: Cancer Cell Biology, Cancer Immunology, Cancer Genomics, Growth Control and Differentiation, Molecular Imaging and Translational Medicine and Cancer Therapeutics. These are underpinned by an extensive infrastructure of core facilities: advanced microscopy, bioinformatics, flow cytometry and cell sorting, functional genomics and sequencing technology, microarray technology, molecular pathology, a tissue and tumour bank, and a transgenic and SPF facility.

More than 300 outstanding clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals are also involved in a broad and diverse portfolio of clinical studies to complement our activities in the basic and translational arenas. The scope is wide-ranging, from early phase clinical studies which allow our patients access to novel anti-cancer drugs through to international randomised controlled trials designed to answer key clinical questions in cancer care. Peter Mac is a hive of cancer clinical trial activity, with unparalleled human and infrastructure resources.
