Centre for Cancer Biology

The Centre for Cancer Biology (CCB) studies the fundamental causes of cancer in order to find new ways to prevent and treat the disease.

Established within SA Pathology as a hub for innovative science leading to breakthrough therapies, CCB is jointly headed by Professors Angel Lopez and Sharad Kumar and currently hosts 16 full time research group leaders and their teams.

The translation of new discoveries into clinical practice is strengthened by the co-localization of the laboratories within a single centre, as well as its proximity to the Royal Adelaide Hospital along with its clinical resources and the University of Adelaide, with which it shares key research facilities.

The CCB also has alliances with leading pharmaceutical companies to rapidly exploit new discoveries. The Centre aims to be a hub of internationally recognized cancer research "excellence" achieving tangible outcomes for cancer patients.
