Pre-clinical models that effectively recapitulate human disease are critical for expanding our knowledge of cancer biology and drug resistance mechanisms.
Aberrant expression of the TLX1/HOX11 proto-oncogene is associated with a significant subset of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias...
CD8α+ DCs are not the sole subset cross-presenting cell associated tumor antigens from a solid tumor
We examined the baseline profile of a panel of T-ALL cell lines to determine factors that contribute to GC resistance without prior drug selection.
Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is a cornerstone of pediatric brain cancer therapy, yet detailed, reproducible protocols for accurate CSI delivery in preclinical mouse models remain scarce, hindering translational research and the development of radiosensitizing strategies. We aimed to establish a clinically relevant, easily replicable radiation therapy protocol for medulloblastoma mouse models, providing a robust platform for preclinical evaluation of novel therapeutic combinations.

Associate Professor Rishi Kotecha, Co-Head of Leukaemia Translational Research at The Kids Research Institute Australia Cancer Centre and Consultant Paediatric Oncologist at Perth Children's Hospital, has been named Cancer Council WA’s 2024 Cancer Researcher of the Year.
Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a common and important complication in children with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We describe the epidemiology of IFD in a large multicentre cohort of children with AML.
The Australian arm of an international clinical trial looking at improved treatments for young babies with leukaemia has been awarded funding from the MRFF.
