ACRF Centre for Cellular Imaging of Precision Immunotherapy

$3 million awarded to Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Victoria to establish the ACRF Centre for Cellular Imaging of Precision Immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy stands as the single most exciting development in cancer treatment of this century. However, for up to 80% of patients there is no significant therapeutic benefit.

The Centre will aim to unlock the power of immunotherapy for more people with cancer by discovering causes of resistance and predicting individual benefit. The innovative technology, new in Australia, will allow real-time, state-of-the-art imaging of the cellular and tissue microenvironment interactions.

The outcome of these findings could uncover opportunities for precision cancer immunotherapy, extending the success of this personalised cancer treatment.
