Background

Kwun is a Thoracic and Sleep Physician at The Prince Charles Hospital and University of Queensland Thoracic Research Centre (UQTRC). His research interests are focussed on making and translating research discoveries to improving outcomes and the health of people who are affected by lung disease particularly lung cancer screening/early detection and biomarkers. The UQTRC is also passionate at enabling productive collaborations to maximise research impact and scale with contributions to The Cancer Genome Atlas Project, Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG), IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project and others.

Research impacts

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in Australia and globally. The prevention, early detection/screening and optimal management of lung cancer will help address the huge burden from lung cancer, enabled by high impact research and addressing stigma and nihilism and the health disparities that exist.

The team at The Prince Charles Hospital and University of Queensland Thoracic Research Centre are passionate, focussed and internationally recognised, leading clinical research in lung cancer in Australia. They are very pleased and privileged to work with patients, families / carers and consumers to make a difference in this awful disease.
