Its research program will initiate major new clinical trials and a comprehensive program of research into trial methods, biostatistical analysis, health outcome analysis and decision analysis. Patient preferences and decision making, particularly in cancer, will be a focus. CTC uses data from its own and other clinical trials in combined analyses to arrive at better evidence. The NHMRC program grant will allow important research studies to be integrated with trials funded from industry and other sources and will maintain the CTC’s internationally competitive research team at the cutting edge of new trial methods and systems.Read moreRead less
Identifying Determinants Of Both The Origins And The Progression Of The Depressive And Bipolar (mood) Disorders.

Summary
Currently, mood disorders are classified by severity, largely ignoring causes and leading to limited treatments. The Team will clarify how differing depressive and bipolar (mood) disorders are best modelled and pursue their differing causes, so assisting identification of specific treatments relating to their underlying causes. Our studies employ a range of sophisticated technologies, including molecular biology, brain imaging techniques, and mathematical modeling. The capacity of such research ....Currently, mood disorders are classified by severity, largely ignoring causes and leading to limited treatments. The Team will clarify how differing depressive and bipolar (mood) disorders are best modelled and pursue their differing causes, so assisting identification of specific treatments relating to their underlying causes. Our studies employ a range of sophisticated technologies, including molecular biology, brain imaging techniques, and mathematical modeling. The capacity of such research to advance the management of mood disorders address a pressing clinical need.Read moreRead less
