Sydney Vital is a Translational Cancer Research Centre based on the Royal North Shore Campus . Our aim is to take research from the laboratory bench and put this into practice . By doing so , we are able to provide patients with access to the latest medical discoveries and improve both their care and outcomes . We are funded by the Cancer Institute NSW and the University of Sydney , and our research partners include The University of Sydney , Macquarie University & Medical School , The Kolling Institute , The University of Technology Sydney , Royal North Shore Hospital , Mater Hospital , and North Shore Private Hospital .
We bring together over 500 cancer researchers who share Sydney Vital ’ s goal to ensure that the latest advances in cancer prevention , treatments and care are available to patients in the shortest time possible . We also coordinate and build research facilities that facilitate the translating of cancer research from the laboratories into routine patient care and improve treatment guidelines . Raising awareness of cancer research and gaining the community ’ s support is a vital component in a holistic community approach to cancer management . This is especially true when there were 126 , 000 new cancer cases diagnosed in Australia in 2015 and the number is predicted to rise to 150 , 000 by 2020 ( Cancer Australia 2016 ). We raise awareness of cancer research and research findings to our local community via email , newsletters , Facebook , Twitter , YouTube and we regularly update our website with the latest news and events . We run regular ‘ cancer events ’ to disseminate cancer research findings and to engage with the local community .
