Researcher profile

Craig Gedye

I’m privileged to work as a medical oncologist and cancer researcher. I work for people with melanoma, brain, prostate, bladder and kidney cancers at the Icon Cancer Centre Adelaide. I am grateful when cancer treatment works, but why does treatment fail? My research focus is on complexity and heterogeneity in cancer – why are cancers different between different people; why are cancers cells different to each other; what does this mean for each person’s treatment? This challenging problem spans projects across the research spectrum, from patient experience, through clinical trials, translational biomarkers and questions in basic science. I’m very fortunate to lead cancer clinical trials for the ANZUP and COGNO cancer trials groups, to chair the ANZUP Renal Cancer Subcommittee, and to contribute to various Scientific Advisory Committees.
