The
Cancer Institute NSW Premier’s Awards for Outstanding Cancer Research are the premier awards ceremony for the cancer research sector in NSW. Now in its tenth year, the event honours the achievements of the individuals and teams that work across the cancer research sector to lessen the impact of cancer for the people of NSW.
These awards are an opportunity to honour the state’s outstanding cancer researchers whose brilliant minds together with their commitment to years and even decades of focused work have led to new discoveries about cancer diagnoses, treatments and survival. Their achievements reflect that improving cancer outcomes is a series of incremental steps.
As the NSW Government’s cancer control agency, the
Cancer Institute NSW supports, facilitates and collaborates with all in the cancer control sector to translate new discoveries in to meaningful knowledge to improve the health system of NSW. This new information is providing the evidence we need to drive rapid improvement in cancer prevention, treatment, care and ultimately, survival outcomes.
