He is currently involved in several research projects:
- Clinical-lead a project in novel drug delivery platform for treatment of cancer (2021 National Phase Entry in three jurisdictions, USA, EU and AUS PCT/AU2021/050407, PCT/AU2019/051017, WO2020056467A1). He started this project in 2013 through a collaboration with Intelligent Polymer Research Institute and IHMRI and ISLHD. Most of preclinical work for this project has been completed including extensive in vitro and several in vivo experiments for using this device in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. A large animal model (Porcine) is currently undertaken at Westmead Hospital. This project was partially funded (approx. $0.5m) by Cancer Australia with a plan to start first-in-human phase 1 trial in 2023/2024.
- Coordinating Principle Investigator for ISLHD Biobank, a facility which has been collected and distributed cancer biospecimens and information for cancer research projects since 2014 through collaboration between CONCERT, UoW and ISLHD. Illawarra and Shoalhaven Cancer Biobank became an independent facility in 2022 (HREC Code, EC00150, Ethics Application ID 2021/ETH12278)
- Chief Investigator (CI2) on an application for 2022 Ideas Grants (Application ID: 2019792): "Peripheral Immune Signatures in Head and Neck Cancer" developed based on an earlier pilot study at ISLHD and University of Wollongong (Grant Duration: 3 years).
- Australian Principle Investigator for more than 30 international phase 1-3 trials over the last 10 years.
