The aims of this Fellowship are to utilise and further extend recently developed methods for estimating different aspects of disease burden in order to:

This is a matched cohort study examining survival and prognostic factors after melanoma diagnosis in kidney transplant recipients. The study is a collaboration with ANZDATA, the University of Sydney, and St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne.

This project utilises health record linkage to quantify the risk of cancer in opioid dependent people registered for pharmacotherapy in NSW. We will examine the relationship between cancer risk and infection with the blood-borne viruses hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.
