Dr Shanice Mah awarded Cancer Council Beat Cancer Project Fellowship
Dr Shanice Mah, from SAiGENCI's Hormone Dependent Cancers program, has been awarded an Early Career Research Fellowship through the Cancer Council Beat Cancer Project.
Dr Mah's study will focus on differences in the makeup of cells in prostate cancer, to identify drivers of disease progression and treatment resistance.
"My Fellowship will establish new approaches to identify patients at high risk of disease progression or treatment failure and explain how these tumours evade treatment," Dr Mah said.听 "This will inform the development of better treatment strategies to more effectively kill cancer cells and prevent treatment resistance."
Dr Mah's Fellowship is co-funded by the South Australian immunoGENomics Cancer Institute (SAiGENCI) grant funding from the Australian Government.
