The MyBRISK Centre of Research Excellence brings together an international multidisciplinary community of researchers, clinicians, health professionals and consumer representatives.
A multidisciplinary approach
Our team includes epidemiologists, radiologists, molecular geneticists, clinical researchers, data scientists, health economists, and pathobiologists as well as a wide network of stakeholders represented by public (e.g. BreastScreen) and private breast cancer screening and radiology clinics, breast cancer family registries, public health institutes (e.g. Cancer Australia), and consumer representatives such as Breast Cancer Network Australia.
Meet the team
MyBRISK comprises a core leadership team of a Director and Chief Investigators. Associate Investigators form a Project Advisory Group to provide direction, advice and input to the core CI team. Expert hubs ensure the expertise and voices of all stakeholders are integrated into project outcomes.
A CRE Management Group provides research support services, communication, administration, data and ethics management.
