ACRF Innovative Cancer Imaging and Therapeutics Facility
The new ACRF Innovative Cancer Imaging and Therapeutics Facility enables SAHMRI researchers and their collaborators, to rapidly translate their basic biomedical research discoveries to novel cancer therapies.
This state of the art facility will be a key resource for researchers at the new SAHMRI building – a brand new institute located within a new medical and health precinct in Adelaide.
The ACRF facility houses a suite of technologies not available anywhere else in the state. It allows researchers to perform cutting-edge cell selection and imaging/profiling of cancerous behaviours within those cells.
Chief Investigators: Professor Charles Mulligan, Professor Timothy Hughes, Professor Andrew Zannettino, Professor Stan Gronthos, A/Professor Deb White, Professor Dorothy O’Keefe, MBBS MD, Professor Tanya Monro, Professor David Roder, Professor Wayne Tilley, Professor Timothy Price, Professor Peter MacKenzie.

Personalised cancer diagnosis
In 2015, we awarded $10 million seed funding to an ambitious cancer proteome project that aims to provide each cancer patient a personalised treatment plan within 36 hours. This will improve treatment outcomes and help avoid unnecessary treatments.
