Ben Tran is an Associate Professor within the Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology at The University of Melbourne and a Medical Oncologist at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. He also holds a Clinician Scientist appointment at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute. His clinical focus lies entirely within the genitourinary (GU) tumour stream, in particular, testicular cancers. Following his medical oncology training in Australia, Ben completed an overseas Fellowship in Drug Development and Urological cancers at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Canada. There he gained extensive experience in treating GU cancers, conducting Phase I clinical trials, implementing a large scale molecular profiling program and managing large multi-centre databases containing real world patient data. These experiences have allowed him to establish himself as a leader in GU cancers, Early Drug Development and RWD. Ben currently leads the GU clinical trials program at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and is Chair of the GU Tumour Group within Cancer Trials Australia, and Chair of the ANZUP Germ Cell Subcommittee.
