Prof Claudine Bonder
Advancing a new precision-guided cancer therapy for adenocarcinoma
Prof Claudine Bonder from Adelaide University has been awarded the Health Translations SA MRFF Catalyst Grant for her research seeking to advance the treatment for adenocarcinoma.
Adenocarcinomas are cancers which often develop in the breast, ovaries and colon and while these cancers are increasingly manageable, treatments are not always effective, often lose their efficacy and can be very challenging for patients to tolerate. Through her research, Prof Bonder aims to screen tumour samples for expression of a defined cancer protein to inform the development of future targeted therapeutic strategies.
