The Group is focused on two main areas of research at the moment:
- A very simple and inexpensive cancer immunotherapy treatment I have come up with, involving a single injection of an immune stimulant into a tumour.
- A bioinformatics study looking for novel proteins in different genomes. We have just recently around 2000 novel proteins from humans and mice.

Bacteria blasting cancer treatment shows promise
Story | Tuesday 28 September 2021
A low-cost, non-toxic cancer treatment has been developed by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU). The treatment uses dead bacteria to help kick-start the immune system and shrink cancer.

New beginnings
Story | Wednesday 8 January 2014
Researchers from RSB and CSIRO Plant Industry, have taken a second look at where we begin to read genes, leading to the discovery of more than 2,000 new human and mouse proteins.
BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Bacteria-based cancer immunotherapy: A re-emerging strategy with contemporary implications
Event | Fri 28 April 2023
Immunotherapy is a re-emerging alternative to other invasive and debilitating cancer treatments. Monoclonal antibodies that disrupt immune checkpoint molecules, such as PD1 or CTLA4, continually demonstrate great promise.
