The award grants are designed to bring together national and international scientists to enable them to work together towards advancing global research into prostate cancer.
These large collaborative grants are managed by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) and bring together some of the country’s most important researchers to take a collaborative approach to researching the clinical management of prostate cancer.
Paul Villanti, Head of Programs at the Movember Foundation, commented.
“The Movember Foundation in partnership with the PCFA is proud to support the largest prostate cancer multi institutional team science program seen in Australia.”
A Team headed by Professor Peter Croucher, an expert in bone metastasis located at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research in Sydney, will work towards better understanding of the process of bone metastasis, the primary cause of prostate cancer related deaths.
The second winning Team, headed by Professor Colleen Nelson, Executive Director of the Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre – Queensland, will look into treatment resistance to the biggest class of inhibitors currently used to treat prostate cancer (Androgen Targeted Therapies or ATT).
