MIA awarded prestigious NHMRC grant
The NHMRC grant will enable MIA to lead an international clinical trial aiming to safely reduce surgery for high risk Stage III melanoma patients who have had a good response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

Nature Medicine has published a peer-reviewed paper detailing the experimental glioblastoma cancer treatment developed by Professor Georgina Long AO, Medical Director of Melanoma Institute Australia, paving the way for a clinical trial to be conducted by researchers at The Brain Cancer Centre in Melbourne.
Newly released long-term data from a groundbreaking clinical trial for advanced melanoma patients whose disease had spread to their brain has proven that long-term disease control has been achieved for over 50% of patients given combination immunotherapy as first line treatment.
This World Cancer Research Day, the NSW Government is committing $2.1 million in research grant funding, with almost $700k awarded to MIA's Prof Long for an imaging system that will allow researchers to better visualise & understand tumour cell interactions.
MIA’s leading experts and early career researchers have shared the world stage at the annual European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Barcelona.
Final results of the COMBI-AD clinical trial, published in New England Journal of Medicine, show significant benefit in preventing disease progression in BRAF positive Stage III melanoma patients.
Our 2024 Australians of the Year recently explored the Northern Territory, as part of a visit organised by the Australia Day Council. View the photo album.
In what has been described as a cancer treatment revolution, the pre-surgery use of combination immunotherapy looks to become standard treatment for melanoma and impact other cancers across the globe.
Congratulations to Professor Georgina Long AO, elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in recognition of her outstanding contribution to science.
