Pancreatic cancer funding boost
By Hudson Institute communications
Congratulations to Professor Brendan Jenkins and his team, who have been awarded $288,536 from Cancer Council Victoria (CCV) to fund research into pancreatic cancer.
Professor Jenkins’ project was one of 13 projects to receive a share in $3.8 million in 2021 from CCV’s Grants-in-Aid program, which funds high-quality research into the treatment, causes, detection and prevention of all cancers.
The study will investigate a precision medicine approach to a form of pancreatic cancer called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Researchers will examine a receptor in the body’s immune system which could potentially be targeted by therapies to fight tumours, including those that have become resistant to chemotherapy.
