    EPISODE 21: Rise of the Highlanders

    EPISODE 21: Rise of the Highlanders

    From rugby battlers to reigning Shute Shield Premiers, the Gordon Highlanders have a long history of achievement but a recent one of survival and reinvention. We talk to club stalwart and Gordon rugby life member Peter Sherwood about how the club went from being on the brink of insolvency and struggling for numbers to now being one of Sydney club rugbys power houses.

    Along the way we get a history lesson, discuss the current controversy around the SRUs plans to impose new conditions that might impact Western Sydney clubs, the latest news on former Gordon head coach Darren Coleman's offer to coach the Waratahs and just what direction NSW rugby and perhaps even Australia broadly should be going in order to keep up with the changing sporting climate. Plenty of lessons to learn from the Gordon experience. Dig in!

    Improving Identification of Aggressive versus Slow Growing Prostate Cancer

    Improving Identification of Aggressive versus Slow Growing Prostate Cancer

    In this week's episode Rachael Babin from Oncology News Australia talks with Associate Professor Matt Naylor about his research on identifying aggressive prostate cancer and his role as a Research Integrity Advisor at Sydney University.

    Matt and his team have shown that levels of the gene CBFβ are increased during prostate cancer and when they stop the gene from working, tumour growth and spread is dramatically reduced. In his latest project, Matt's team will investigate exactly how CBFβ functions and determine if levels of the gene can be used as a marker to predict if a patient will have an aggressive or slow growing form of prostate cancer.
