LaTrobe University – Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute
About
La Trobe University’s Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute (ONJCRI) is at the frontier of cancer medicine discovery and clinical trials, providing patients with access to experimental and breakthrough treatments including immunotherapies, targeted therapies and personalised medicine.
We support national collaboration of researchers in university and medical research institutes with integrated molecular imaging programs that extend from laboratory research, including biology, chemistry, biotechnology, through to novel probe radiochemistry and validation in animal imaging (PET and MRI) prior to human trials.
The validation of PET probes developed in the cyclotron and radiochemistry facilities on this campus has led to the initiation of over 20 first-in-human and later stage clinical trials in multiple sites in Melbourne, as well as Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide collaborative sites.
