Assoc. Prof. Michael Jameson FRACP FRCP (Edin.) PhD is Co-director of Cancer Trials New Zealand (CTNZ) based at the University of Auckland, Assistant Dean at the Waikato Clinical Campus, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Auckland, and Medical Oncologist at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton. His main research interests gravitate towards collaborative investigator-initiated clinical trials and translational research, including repurposing drugs in oncology. As Co-director of CTNZ since 2022 he works with a team focussed on supporting clinical and scientific researchers to develop investigator-initiated clinical and translational research projects, gain grant funding, and conduct those trials at multiple sites. He is leading a CTNZ project to develop a formal national cancer trials network in New Zealand, aligning with the ”Enhancing Aotearoa New Zealand Clinical Trials” project. This includes a focus on strategies to improve equitable access to clinical trials, which includes developing the clinical research workforce and infrastructure, especially in smaller regional and rural communities. CTNZ collaborated with government agencies, industry bodies and other researchers to successfully develop standard operating procedures for decentralised trials in New Zealand, with such trials now underway.
