Multiple projects in gynaecological cancer and skin cancer
Project 1: Artificial intelligence and 3D total-body imaging
Fields:
- Cancers
- Dermatology and skin cancer
- Health informatics
- Medical image analysis
- Public health
- Telemedicine/online health
Location: Princess Alexandra Hospital
Type of student:
- Both HDR and Extra-curricular
- Honours students
- 4 Unit Masters of Public Health (MPH) Student
- PGY1: Post-graduate year 1
- PGY2: Post-graduate year 2
Type of work:
- Literature review
- Statistical analysis
Brief synopsis:
Work with an experienced team of researchers within the Centre for Health Services Research and Dermatology Research Centre, UQ on our innovative 3D-total body imaging system for the early detection of melanoma. 3D total-body imaging and artificial intelligence technology could play a role in identifying lesions with a high likelihood of melanoma.
Under guidance from the team, we are looking for a student to help develop and write a protocol and submit an ethics application for a diagnostic study that aims to assess the accuracy of an artificial intelligence–based melanoma detection algorithm, compared with clinical assessment and histopathological diagnosis.

Project 3: Systematic Review on Endometrial Cancer Patients
Fields:
- Cancers
- Gynaecology
- Health services
- Palliative care
- Public health
- Endometrial cancer
Location: Princess Alexandra Hospital
Type of student:
- Both HDR and Extra-curricular

- PGY2: Post-graduate year 2
Type of work:
- Literature review
- Systematic review
Brief synopsis:
We are seeking a student to conduct a systematic review on survivorship, surveillance, and rehabilitation outcomes among endometrial cancer patients. You will be asked to screen and review papers for Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), and assist with writing the review for publication. The reviews will use the Covidence online system. The work can be performed remotely, and video conference software will be used for meetings.

Brief synopsis:
This project is situated in the Centre for Health Services Research at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, and the Queensland Centre for Gynaecological Cancer Research, Herston.
In Australia, one in 22 women will develop a gynaecological cancer. Uterine cancer is the most prevalent form, followed by ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal cancers. Our research is focused on providing better gynaecological cancer treatment options, and improving the quality of life of women diagnosed with gynaecological cancers. Some of our current trial topics include the benefits of exercise during chemotherapy, benefits and harms of sentinel node dissection, the role of lifestyle, diet and obesity in gynaecological cancers, and investigating minimally invasive treatments for endometrial cancer.
We invite you to work with an experienced team of researchers on aspects of research development, management or analysis that you are interested in.
