Projects
The Comprehensive Breast Cancer Institute (CBCI) supports all breast cancer research activities across Metro North facilities including:
- Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital
- The Prince Charles Hospital
- Caboolture Hospital
- Redcliffe Hospital
- Surgical Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS)
- Kilcoy Hospital
The CBCI research activities include clinical trials, implementation research and health economic studies in a holistic approach across the entire patient care pathway. Our vision is to rapidly translate research outcomes into clinical practice, to inform the decisions of policy makers, clinicians, and consumers and to ultimately improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients.

The Scaffold-guided Breast Surgery Clinical Trial is a world first, and is a collaboration between CBCI and the Herston Biofabrication Institute (HBI).
Research Collaborations and HDR Projects
Clinicians and researchers interested in collaborative research studies are invited to contact the CBCI Research Manager to discuss. We also offer a wide range of HDR research projects suitable for PhD and MPhil degrees and invite students to email their CVs and motivational reasons to us. We will then make contact to discuss suitability.
