Recent work examines molecular diagnostics, polygenic risk scoring, and endoscopic techniques to reduce post-colonoscopy cancer incidence.

Publication trends reveal a strong emphasis on translational colorectal cancer research, with 22 total outputs including high-impact studies in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention (29 Scopus citations) and BMJ Open. Key themes include cost-effectiveness modeling, molecular characterization of tumors, and healthcare system interventions.

Research is supported by four major grants:

• NHMRC-funded project on colonoscopy surveillance efficiency (2017-2022)
• Cancer Council NSW initiatives on pancreatic cancer treatment and genomics integration (2014-2019)
• Western Australian Department of Health pilot study on referral prioritization (2013-2015)

Collaborative networks span 18+ institutions with significant clinical guideline impact, including reference in 1 clinical guideline source and coverage in 1 news outlet.
