The Centre congratulates two of its post-doctoral research fellows, Dr Zeyad Nassar and Dr Maggie Centenera, from the Prostate Cancer Research Group at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute on both being awarded research grants ($149,956 and $149,662 respectively) from the Hospital Research Foundation in its recently announced round.

Dr Nassar’s research will be targeting fatty acid oxidation for treatment of high risk localised prostate cancer, while Dr Centenera’s research will explore a patient-derived discovery platform for companion biomarker development in prostate cancer.

We acknowledge and thank the South Australian community for their generous donations to the Hospital Research Foundation to enable this research.
