Understanding early-onset bowel cancer
Research to find answers
Why are more people developing bowel cancer before the age of 50? CRE ARTEMIS is a national research collaboration working to understand the factors behind this increase.
Our work connects laboratory science, clinical expertise and lived experience. By investigating how bowel cancer begins and develops in younger people, we aim to build knowledge that can inform future prevention and earlier detection.
A national collaboration
Led by Associate Professor Dan Buchanan at the University of Melbourne, CRE ARTEMIS connects researchers and clinicians across Australian institutions.
The centre also supports the next generation of researchers through training and mentoring.

Lived experience belongs in research
People affected by early-onset bowel cancer bring knowledge that research cannot gain from laboratory or clinical data alone. Their perspectives help keep the work connected to the questions and experiences that matter to patients and families.
