Partnering with Omico

As a national, independent not-for-profit organisation, supported by government and private funding, Omico is working with government and industry to increase access for Australians to precision oncology screening tests and treatments, so we can match those with advanced, incurable or poor prognosis cancers to clinical trials of innovative new therapies.

We are looking to partner with advocacy groups to drive new hope and possibilities for Australians with cancer.

Our work

Finding new treatment paths for difficult-to-treat cancers

Omico’s landmark Precision Oncology Screening Platform Enabling Clinical Trials (PrOSPeCT) aims to open up new options for patients with difficult-to-treat, advanced and metastatic cancers.

Matching patients to biomarker-led clinical trials

Through our Cancer Screening Project (CaSP) we’re performing comprehensive genomic profiling for cancer patients with unmet clinical need to match them to clinical trials or other care pathways.

Matching molecular changes to targeted therapy

Our Molecular Screening and Therapeutics (MoST) study aims to characterise molecular changes in a patient’s cancer that may help to identify a targeted therapy.

Identifying genetic basis of cancer risk

We’re examining the genetic basis of inherited cancer with our Genetic Cancer Risk in the Young (RisC) study.

Improving surveillance of multi-organ cancer

Our Surveillance study in Multi-Organ Cancer-prone syndromes (SMOC+) study is investigating and evaluating the surveillance practices used for people at high risk of multi-organ cancer.
