 My name is Professor Ross Hannon. I'm from the Peter McCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, which is Australia's only comprehensive cancer centre. I'm very excited to be coming to the Johnco and School of Medical Research. The cancer chair, I think, reflects the commitment of both the ACT government and the ANU University to really push cancer research forward. Even though cancer is now the number one killer in Australia, largely due to our age and population, it's a very exciting time for research because new technologies are making a real difference, particularly genomic technologies where now we can determine individual lesions and mutations in patients and therefore we can personalise or tailor the medical treatment. I think this position enables us to focus cancer research in Canberra and really drive it forward so we are internationally competitive.
