The PaCCSC and CST Annual Research Forum is our principal annual event. Past forums have showcased new research, provided networking opportunities and forged new collaborations.

This year’s them is Clinical trials: new priorities

At PaCCSC and CST, we are setting new research priorities to ensure the program is focused in the areas of greatest need as well as on communities who are underrepresented in research and clinical trials.

We are also expanding our program to include a focus on cardiovascular disease and stroke, two important and prevalent health problems in our population.

Our guest speakers will share their expertise in these areas and lead discussion on how we can best meet the challenges facing our diverse communities.

This year’s Forum will be online again and will include four themed sessions. More details will be added to the below program in the coming weeks.

More information about the forum and speakers is on the event web page: uts.edu.au/paccsc-cst-forum-2022.

We look forward to seeing you at the Forum.
