Research Grant Recipient – Dr Joel Poder

Introducing 𝗗𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 at St George Hospital Cancer Care Centre. Joel will be presenting at the St George & Sutherland Medical Research Foundation (SSMRF) Annual Dinner Friday 4 April as a successful grant recipient of the 2024 Research Grants. Joel’s research looks at the provision of same day radiation planning and treatment for patients with metastatic brain cancer. The project will look to validate 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 tools used in the planning phase of radiation treatment. These tools will allow an MRI taken in the morning, then planning the radiation dose for multiple brain tumours followed by treatment in the afternoon. Once the artificial intelligence tools have been validated the project will move to clinical trial. This project has the potential to make a significant impact on the speed in which treatment can be offered for patients with metastatic brain cancers. The SSMRF Research Grant has been sponsored by Southern Cancer Care. If you would like to attend and hear more tickets are available https://events.humanitix.com/ssmrf-annual-celebration-dinner
