To obtain a better understanding of the relative contribution of age, immune function (including immunotherapy), microbiota and radiation therapy on the outcomes of head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment. 

Research activities will be based at ANSTO’s Lucas Heights facilities. Expertise will be gained in utilising preclinical HNC animal models, radio/immune therapy, immunophenotyping, microbiome analysis, and swallow function assessment. This project presents an opportunity to work with multi-disciplinary teams in the research and clinical setting.  ​

Although based at ANSTO, the project is integrated into the St George Hospital Swallow Centre, with project outcomes to guide future clinical based studies. ​
