“Chris completed his Bachelor of Biological Sciences in 2008 where he majored in genetics and microbiology, with a special interest in cancer genetics.  In 2011, he completed a Masters of Medical Radiations where he specialized in radiation therapy.  As a radiation therapist, Chris designed and delivered complex radiation therapy plans to treat a wide variety of cancers through a number of hospitals including Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Bendigo Health, Western Health, and the Olivia Newton John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre. 

‍

As a clinical trial coordinator, he was responsible for coordinating the implementation of clinical trials within radiation oncology at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Bendigo and has continued to drive clinical trial engagement throughout his career.  In 2016, Chris moved into clinical education and clinical project management where he was responsible for the delivery of medical education within radiation oncology, often running education programs for medical students, visiting medical officers, and learners of all levels. Through this collaborative setting, he worked alongside nuclear medicine to further refine many protocols to allow for a smoother transition of care for patients between the departments.  This included improving the delivery of radiotherapy specific PET/CT scans to minimize unnecessary medical imaging.

As our clinical trial manager, Chris now brings this passion and research expertise to MTIC to coordinate the delivery of our clinical trial portfolio, and further improve accessibility of state-of-the-art services to patients to ensure that every person is empowered to receive the highest standard of care.”
