Professor Brendan Jenkins took part in two Metafit (high intensity interval training) sessions last weekend, including one organised in Fairfield for coaches.

These sessions were held in memory of the late fitness trainer, Daniel Wilson to raise funds for a new scholarship at Hudson Institute.…  Read more

A leading Australian fitness coach, Daniel Wilson, died in May 2019 two months after being diagnosed with stomach cancer aged just 37. Daniel was well known for introducing Metafit, a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) program, to Australia.

Now, those who loved Daniel are commemorating his life by raising funds for medical research that will help find earlier diagnoses and treatments for others with stomach cancer.…  Read more

Pioneering Australian clinicians, Barry Marshall and Robin Warren first reported in 1982 that the stomach bacterium, Helicobacter pylori (H.plylori) causes gastritis and is a major risk factor in peptic ulcer disease and stomach cancer. Marshall and Warren were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2005 for their discovery, which has resulted in…  Read more

‘Clusters’ of immune cells are associated with advanced stomach cancers, but they provide few clinical or prognostic clues for these tumours, a new Hudson Institute study has found. Professor Brendan Jenkins, the study’s co-author, says that in some other cancers, the presence of these clusters, called immune cell aggregates, indicates improved patient survival – but…  Read more

New research from Hudson Institute of Medical Research is showing how a pro-inflammatory protein could offer new hope for stomach cancer treatment. A study, led by Dr Virginie Deswaerte and Professor Brendan Jenkins, found that modifying key components of the inflammatory response in the body could help to prevent tumour growth. The findings have been…  Read more

Scientists at Hudson Institute of Medical Research have identified a family of genes that could more accurately detect stomach cancer in its early stages to help improve survival rates. Stomach or gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. It is caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the lining, or…  Read more

Hudson Institute has had outstanding success in the recent NHMRC Project Grant round. In addition, our researchers have been awarded an NHMRC Partnership Grant, an NHMRC Development Grant, an ARC Discovery Grant and three NMHRC Fellowships.…  Read more

Why does a common bug, Helicobacter pylori, which is present in the stomachs of around half the world’s population, drive stomach cancer in some people? Associate Professor Richard Ferrero will establish how this seemingly innocuous bacterium drives growth of a specific type of stomach tumour, thanks to generous funding from the US Department of Defense.…  Read more
