About the cancer research network.

Abstract

The Cancer Research Network is again very proud to host the biennial Sydney Cancer Conference. I would personally like to thank the SCC2014 conference organising committee, led by Associate Professor Glen Reid and Dr Sonia Yip, for their extremely hard work bringing SCC2014 to fruition and delivering such a diverse and high-quality program. The Cancer Research Network, established in 2006, is a cross-Faculty initiative of the University of Sydney. The Network has been established to link cancer researchers in the University of Sydney and its teaching hospitals and affiliated research institutes and institutions, and thereby help build high quality cancer research capacity and achieve international cancer research excellence in areas of strength. The Network fosters communication with and among members to facilitate research collaboration, with an emphasis on research translation. One of the main aims of the network is to increase awareness of, and capacity for, multidisciplinary collaboration across groups. In the process, this will build a sense of community among cancer researchers across discipline and geographical boundaries. Membership is open to employees of the University of Sydney, people employed by teaching hospitals and Institutes of the University of Sydney, or people holding an academic title award from the University of Sydney, who are active in the area of cancer research, postdoctoral fellows and postgraduate research students enrolled at the University of Sydney.
