A message from HCRA Directors and the Symposium Scientific Committee

The Directors of the Hunter Cancer Research Alliance (HCRA) would like to welcome you all to this one-day symposium and trust that you will enjoy the variety and depth of presentations from cancer researchers located in the Hunter New England region of New South Wales. It has been another challenging year for all of us but now there is a light at the end of the tunnel with respect to returning to a more normal research routine. The Directors of HCRA are pleased to support andbe engaged in this years’ annual symposium. Earlier in the year wewere planning a face-to-facemeeting, similar to last year but events overtook us and we decided to offer a virtual meeting rather than cancelling the event. The symposium includes research outcomes from our three flagships: Implementation Science and Impact (ISI), Biomarkers and Targeted Therapies (BTT) and Radiation Oncology, Cancer Imaging and Technology (ROCIT). This years’ program includes two outstanding keynote speakers Professor Karen Canfell and Associate Professor Phoebe Phillips, who have kindly donated their time to give us insights into their respective fields. We would like to thank the HCRA Symposium Scientific committee for organising this symposium and the delegates for attending online.
