Our expertise

Four domains, one clinical context

Our scientists are organised into four domains of expertise that act as dynamic hubs bridging research and clinical realities. Embedded within the clinical context, our domain scientists respond to the evolving needs of patients and clinicians — bringing insights directly to the bedside.

Cancer Care

Improving detection, treatment pathways, and survivorship — with a strong focus on equity of access.

Explore domain →

Older Adult Care

Supporting healthy aging, quality of life, and appropriate access to care for older adults.

Explore domain →

Surgical Sciences

Safer surgery, better recovery, and a smaller environmental footprint.

Explore domain →

Primary Care & Health Systems

Strengthening first-line care and the systems and workforce that deliver it.

Rooted in the community

Community engagement at the heart of research

The Communications and Community Engagement Office (COMEO) builds lasting ties between the Centre's scientists and the people they serve. Patients, caregivers, neighbourhood organisations, and clinicians help shape research questions rather than simply receiving the findings.
