In particular welcome to our guests and speakers from Italy. I hope that all delegates will find their attendance a stimulating research experience and that it presents new research opportunities for collaboration with researchers in South Australia. The aim of this meeting is to promote bilateral scientific and commercial collaboration in biomedical bone and joint research between leading Italian, South Australian and Australian researchers and research organisations. As leaders of research groups covering areas of biomedical research focussing on bone and joint research, you have been invited to explore your combined research capabilities, through this face-to-face networking opportunity, to promote bilateral international collaboration. The meeting has been planned for a selected audience of about 25 participants, playing key roles in their area of research interest. Selected Italian research group leaders and scientists have been invited, along with selected research group leaders and scientists from South Australia and Australia (SA Pathology, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Women’s & Children’s Hospital, The University of Adelaide, Flinders University, University of South Australia, University of Sydney). We also have the participation of industry representatives from Xradia (Pleasanton, CA, USA), who will present to the audience the state of their R&D programs, and their vision or opportunities for collaboration.

    SA Pathology Newsletter July 2021 COVID-19 response This week SA Pathology surpassed its highest COVID-19 testing numbers, reporting a record 86,967 tests in the last 7 days; that’s almost double the number of tests reported in the week prior. Our testing numbers peaked at 16,530 on Thursday 22 July – that’s over 10,000 more tests than our recent daily average. At the same time, we also established another COVID-19 drive through collection centre at Waterworld Ridgehaven, an invitation-only priority COVID-19 testing site, and a walk-in collection centre at Netball SA Mile End. SA Pathology also operates COVID-19 collection centres at the Adelaide Airport, Victoria Park, Aldinga GP Plus, Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre and Port Adelaide – refer to the SA Health website for more information – as well as our domiciliary service operating across the metropolitan and regional areas. Working in collaboration with SA Health and Simplybook.me, our Ridgehaven Waterworld and Repat Health Precinct collection centres also began trialling a new testing booking system. The feedback has been extremely positive and we’ve seen a significant reduction in queueing and wait times at these sites. For more information, see the COVID Testing Online Booking FAQs. Mission to fight deadly childhood cancer SA Pathology researchers at the Centre for Cancer Biology (an alliance of SA Pathology and University of South Australia) were recently awarded $1.4 million to investigate the causes and identify new treatments for neuroblastoma in the latest round of Medical Research Future Fund grants. Project lead, Associate Professor Yeesim Khew-Goodall and her co- investigator Professor Greg Goodall (pictured), will work with teams from the University of South Australia, Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Royal Adelaide Hospital as they seek to better understand the causes of neuroblastoma and improve patient outcomes.
