Involvement Opportunities

Oral cancer is affecting more Australians than ever before. We are inviting people who have been diagnosed with oral cancer to share their experiences and help us shape this discovery-science research project to explore disease in ways that are relevant, respectful and informed by lived experience. By learning more about these cancers and how they behave, we hope to develop better, more personalised treatments for future patients.

The Ben Beale Laboratory for Cardiovascular Research at The University of Western Australia invites people living with or care for someone living with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) to register their interest in contributing to their research as a Community Partner. During the 5 years of this research project there will be various ways to be involved.

UWA and Curtin University want to make sure we are training future doctors who can care for people from all walks of life across WA. To do this, we need to think carefully about how we choose students for medical school in WA and hear from people with many different life experiences. We want to hear from people with experience of healthcare financial challenges about how these selection processes could better reflect community values and expectations. We’re inviting community members to either a small group or individual discussion to help us understand our community’s expectations.

We are seeking individuals with lived experience of pancreatic cancer (as a patient, survivor, family member, or carer) to partner with our cancer research team. The team is developing new software to better understand how different cells in pancreatic cancer communicate with each other.

We are looking for your lived experience and perspective to help keep the research focused on what matters most to people affected by pancreatic cancer.
