About
The Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute’s mission is to advance the understanding and treatment of cancer, by making an internationally recognised contribution to cancer research.
Opened in 1998, the Institute, led by Director of Research, Professor Kannourakis, is making enormous progress in unlocking the riddles of cancer, including a world-first trial into individualising chemotherapy treatments for patients.
Today, Ballarat has a well resourced cancer research facility well poised to undertake internationally competitive cancer research. The Institute, located in the heart of regional Victoria, is a vital contributor to the global effort to fight cancer through research.
