A new Affiliation and Collaboration Agreement has been signed between Cancer Council NSW and the University of Sydney, marking a major milestone in the evolution of the Daffodil Centre.
We will continue to deliver timely, relevant evidence to national and international policy-makers, supporting best-practice decision-making across the cancer continuum. Our research remains focused on reducing the impact of cancer – including incidence, morbidity, and mortality – and improving the quality of life for people affected by cancer. The Daffodil Centre is training the next generation of cancer researchers in:
- epidemiology and population health research
- predictive statistical forecasting and microsimulation modelling
- large-scale linked data analysis
- systematic review and meta-analysis
- biostatistical methods
- health economic evaluation
- health services research
- behavioural and implementation science.
“This new agreement formally recognises the Daffodil Centre as a mature, collaborative research centre powered by two strong institutions. It preserves what makes our culture unique - our collegiality, agility, shared mission, and impact-driven research. We’re proud of how far the Daffodil Centre has come, and excited about where we’re going, together.”
While leadership recruitment is underway, Professor Anne Cust and Professor Graham Mann will serve as Interim Directors during this transition, with Associate Professor David Smith as Deputy Director.
While the structure of our partnership is changing, our research continues and our mission remains the same – to accelerate progress towards our common goal of a cancer-free future.
