For decades, the fight against cancer has focused on killing the tumour cell. We treated cancer like an isolated entity that needed to be destroyed – but what if we’ve been looking at the wrong target?

In this episode of Medical Minds with Dr Ankur Sharma, we delve into the critical insight that cancer is not just a rogue cell – it’s an entire ecosystem – and that ecosystem is the key to unlocking a new class of cures.

We were delighted to welcome Lauren, Craig, and Ryan Sutton to the Garvan’s Biologics Platform Lab to celebrate the unveiling of a new ÄKTA Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography system, made possible through the Sutton family’s generous support.

This system allows the purification of new molecules produced by the Biologics Platform, filling a critical gap in Garvan’s translational infrastructure. This new addition will accelerate the development of biologic-based therapeutics, delivering new medicines into the hands of Australians, faster.

We are incredibly grateful to the Sutton family and Suttons Motors for their ongoing support and generosity.

Associate Professor David Croucher is investigating high-risk neuroblastoma – an aggressive childhood cancer where 15% of patients don’t respond to initial treatment, and half of those who do respond will see their cancer return.

Neuroblastoma usually occurs in children under two years of age, and it arises in the nerve cells in the adrenal glands – above the kidneys or along the spine, chest, abdomen or pelvis.

His team has discovered a potential treatment that could overcome drug resistance in children whose cancers have stopped responding to chemotherapy.

Garvan’s Professor Marina Pajic has been awarded an MRFF grant to lead a team undertaking two new clinical trials testing whether weakening the tough, protective tissue that surrounds pancreatic tumours could help chemotherapy work better.

An international team of scientists, co-led by Garvan’s Prof Stuart Tangye, has uncovered new insights into how our immune system develops.

Their research shows that a protein called CBL is especially important for the maturation and function of B cells, a key part of our immune defence.

This helps us better understand immune diseases and could lead to new treatments.
