Sobering fact for current state of therapeutic development in #cancer: only 5% of drugs in last 10 years progressed from phase 1 to approval. Worst of 15 disease groups. Need to collaborate on models that closer mimic human disease. #pancreaticcancer #clinicaltrials
"Some evidence suggests that, despite many options, no existing model of cancer is good enough for developing therapeutics."

Surely there I’ll need to be some uniformity with respect to the childcare “fee waiver” @GladysB? How can working families cope with keeping all kids at home and still paying $100+ per day per child as our centre has a cap on the “gap waiver” #SydneyLockdown.

Thank you @markfebbraio, I could have written this. I used to review 30+ complex cytology cases a day and now I’m struggling to spell. Glad I’m not alone #workingfromhome #ScienceAtHome.

Career highlight working with the ICGC! #ishare #teamscience.
Tom Hudson @abbvie reflects on his 12 years with the ICGC. He speaks of how leaving data in silos prevents discovery, and why the future is not just finding genes, but understanding the link between those genes and clinical outcomes #FridayFeeling .

Proud to have been part of this #PanCancer network.
Proud to contribute to this huge international effort providing a solid foundation to understand the genomes of 38 cancer types—filling in potential existing gaps that we didn’t even know were there. AU teams incl. @PeterMacCC @QIMRBerghofer @GarvanInstitute @UQ_News @MelanomaAus.

So proud of Gary telling his story and helping raise awareness of #PancreaticCancer.
We love it when our patients come to visit! We welcomed wonderful Gary who is 8 years post whipples for #PancreaticCancer to the lab and showed him where his samples were stored and processed. Researchers and patients working together to #makesurvivalpossible @AAmberjay

Another beautiful story from the talented Catriona. @GarvanInstitute alumni and I was proud to work alongside her during her PhD.
Patients are more than their diagnosis, more than their bed number, and more than their operation. Our decisions bear deeper consequences on their lives than we usually bother to imagine. Thank you Dr Catriona McNeil for another poignant reminder. @COBLH.
