His research interests are diverse, ranging from the influence of basic tumour biology on cancer outcomes to the delivery of tailored cancer screening. Ongoing biological areas of study include; mechanisms of chemotherapy and hormone therapy resistance in cancer, EMT, breast density biology and clinical utility, tumour-associated macrophages, novel cancer drivers in high risk breast cancer subsets, and clinical implications of nuclear receptor co-regulators. Service delivery projects include; exploring the role of biology, treatment prescription and compliance in Indigenous outcomes, optimal structures of cancer follow-up, the role of mammographic and bone density in guiding adjuvant endocrine breast cancer therapy and using risk profile to tailor cancer screening. Finally he is the principle investigator involved in the design and conduct of a range of clinical trials across the phases.
