Last week @ProfGLongMIA & I travelled to Perth & were hosted by @ausdaywa as joint @ausoftheyear: it was a fun & busy few days! We met with some of the many amazing West Australians! It was a fabulous & packed program in 2 days! *met with WA Governor, *presented to medical colleagues (hosted by @CancerCouncilWA), *had a fun discussion with @oliverpeterson at Kings Park breakfast session with Welcome to Country by incredible Barry Winmar, *radio interview with @oliverpeterson, *interactive discussion with very smart high school students at Bob Hawke College, *recorded a podcast with Marie-Anne Keefe *participated in the entertaining @MelanomaAus Student Sunsafe Ambassador Program, *met with many past & present @ausoftheyear winners & other great Australians at an event hosted by CERI founder Charlie Bass & @ausdaywa *had fun interactive discussion with Forrest Research Foundation scholars & fellows. We kept spreading the sun safe message because prevention of #melanoma & other skin #cancers is better than cure. Early melanoma detection is also very important: “Know the skin you’re in” & seek advice if you see something new or changing! Thank you @ausdaywa (including Morgen & Denyse) for your wonderful hosting. And thanks also to my brother Mark & his partner Anna for stepping in to help & support me (Katie had broken her leg & couldn’t come). Finally, fabulous to catch up with friends & colleagues including one of my mentors & prior head of @MelanomaAus John Thompson! @ausoftheyear @ausdaywa @MelanomaAus @CancerCouncilWA @subbie

What an awesome team 🤩 Inspired every day to work with you all 🙌🏼

We got it!!!! Celebrating science and multidisciplinary collaboration.

ACRF ACEMID is proud to announce that we've won the @eurekaprizes for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research. This prestigious award recognises our team's dedication and innovative work in uniting diverse scientific fields to advance #melanoma research.

#EurekaPrizes Very honoured to be a finalist in the Interdisciplinary Research prize - AI assisted diagnosis of melanoma and skin cancer @Sydney_Uni @MelanomaACEMID @UQ_News @MonashUni

And the #EurekaPrizes award for #interdisciplinaryresearch goes to the remarkable Australian Centre of Excellence in #Melanoma Imaging and Diagnosis which includes @Sydney_Uni researchers: Pablo Fernandez Penas Anne Cust Rachael Morton

Our new paper on skin checks in primary care found that 1 in 5 skin checks resulted in additional healthcare, which was more likely for people of older age, or living outside the major cities or from more disadvantaged areas @DaffodilCentre @MelanomaAus doi.org/10.17061/phrp3412240……

Last night @ProfGLongMIA discussed the NADINA trial that's "revolutionary" for #melanoma patients. Results: est. 12m event-free survival rates of 83.7% in #neoadjuvant arm v 57.2% in adjuvant arm. Hear from Prof Long & trial patient Hayley. @theprojecttv @Sydney_Uni @ausoftheyear

Skin checks occur in about 1% of general practice consults, with substantial health system costs, according to research that could inform a future Australian #melanoma screening program: doi.org/10.17061/phrp3412240… @DaffodilCentre @AnneECust @ProfJonEmery

🗓️ Join the #ELSInetwork seminar on Tue 18/6 at 11am (AEST). Prof @AnneECust & Mary-Anne Young will explore ethical, legal & social issues of #polygenic scores in healthcare. Register 👉 tinyurl.com/bdtzau8e @biomedethics #ELSI #genomics #seminar #bioethics

You could hear a pin drop in this room! All so captivated by @DrAndreaLSmith in her amazing story of #advocacy and #science for metastatic breast cancer. #NSWCancerConf2023

We are really excited too, to have you working with us at the Daffodil Centre! Looking forward to lots of interesting research discussions and helping to make a difference!
