So we, we have our, ethics

{{00:00:30}}
committee that's cover

{{00:00:32}}
for all of Australia

{{00:00:33}}
public private site.

{{00:00:35}}
In addition, we have our the

{{00:00:38}}
National Safety Biosafety

{{00:00:40}}
Committee, which is reviewing.

{{00:00:42}}
You know, sort of the gene

{{00:00:44}}
and, therapy, cell gene

{{00:00:46}}
therapy, which allow us to

{{00:00:48}}
actually facilitate, bring

{{00:00:51}}
that into a clinical trial

{{00:00:53}}
setting, a bit more, I guess

{{00:00:57}}
more facilitative and bit

{{00:00:59}}
more rapidly engaging with

{{00:01:01}}
the clinicians, the doctors,

{{00:01:04}}
the medical community

{{00:01:06}}
but also with the patients

{{00:01:07}}
and their family, making

{{00:01:08}}
sure that they understand

{{00:01:10}}
what is involved.

{{00:01:11}}
And that high level of patient

{{00:01:13}}
engagement is important.

{{00:01:15}}
We have a few, you know,

{{00:01:16}}
initiative including

{{00:01:18}}
working with, our partners,

{{00:01:20}}
having regular public

{{00:01:22}}
lectures, debate, talking

{{00:01:23}}
about clinical research,

{{00:01:24}}
clinical trials, and, and

{{00:01:26}}
you know, specifically on,

{{00:01:28}}
on precision medicines where

{{00:01:32}}
we bring in, I guess the

{{00:01:36}}
researchers, the, the

{{00:01:40}}
sponsors, you know, partners

{{00:01:42}}
in that pipeline, and actually

{{00:01:43}}
engaging in that conversation,

{{00:01:45}}
making sure, you know, that

{{00:01:47}}
high level of from, from going

{{00:01:49}}
to bench to bedside, but also

{{00:01:51}}
out to the community as well.

{{00:01:53}}
So, you know, we operate

{{00:01:55}}
at the highest level when

{{00:01:56}}
it comes to patient privacy

{{00:01:59}}
and so on and so forth.

{{00:02:00}}
We all, we comply with, you

{{00:02:02}}
know, various, regulations and

{{00:02:05}}
legislations as I mentioned.

{{00:02:07}}
But but importantly is

{{00:02:08}}
actually understand harnessing

{{00:02:11}}
the data that we've got

{{00:02:12}}
and work with our industry

{{00:02:15}}
partners to make sure that

{{00:02:16}}
you get that high level of

{{00:02:18}}
return,  on an investment.

{{00:02:20}}
Making sure that we

{{00:02:22}}
are getting the latest

{{00:02:23}}
technologies, treatment

{{00:02:25}}
options to our patients

{{00:02:27}}
by providing a high level

{{00:02:30}}
of,  I guess in terms of the

{{00:02:33}}
process in place to facilitate

{{00:02:35}}
clinical trials, for example.

{{00:02:37}}
So we've got, as I

{{00:02:38}}
mentioned before, we've

{{00:02:39}}
got our Human research

{{00:02:40}}
ethics committee that meet

{{00:02:43}}
regularly every two weeks.

{{00:02:46}}
We've got our IBC, we've

{{00:02:48}}
got our, another arm is

{{00:02:50}}
actually the research valet.

{{00:02:52}}
He'll putting together an

{{00:02:53}}
ethics application, getting

{{00:02:54}}
that rapid,  Facilitate rapid

{{00:02:57}}
turnaround time for approval.

{{00:03:00}}
So all in all, it's about

{{00:03:02}}
working closely with industry

{{00:03:03}}
partners, making sure that

{{00:03:05}}
the, clinicians actually

{{00:03:07}}
been supported, and then,

{{00:03:09}}
you know, through all of

{{00:03:10}}
the ethics and governance

{{00:03:12}}
and then the engagement

{{00:03:13}}
with the patient to make

{{00:03:14}}
sure that We get treatment,

{{00:03:17}}
to patient, rapidly.

{{00:03:19}}
There are initiative

{{00:03:21}}
within, you know, part

{{00:03:23}}
of the larger ecosystem,

{{00:03:24}}
which we are partner with

{{00:03:25}}
a number of the initiative,

{{00:03:27}}
where for example Omnical,

{{00:03:30}}
which is the initiative,

{{00:03:34}}
from the Australian

{{00:03:35}}
government,  looking at

{{00:03:36}}
genomics testings and how

{{00:03:38}}
that weaving into, clinical

{{00:03:41}}
trial clinical development,

{{00:03:43}}
enhanced clinical trials.

{{00:03:45}}
So, in terms of us, we'll

{{00:03:47}}
continue to work with our

{{00:03:49}}
industry partners and,

{{00:03:50}}
and pushing more on, I

{{00:03:52}}
guess working closely

{{00:03:54}}
with, with investors,

{{00:03:55}}
potential investors.

{{00:03:57}}
The industry partners to,

{{00:03:59}}
to drive that innovation

{{00:04:00}}
further, that creating impact.

{{00:04:03}}
So certainly, and, and

{{00:04:04}}
also the other thing

{{00:04:05}}
to expand the geography

{{00:04:06}}
of our collaboration.

{{00:04:08}}
So typically, you know, we

{{00:04:09}}
focus on North America, but

{{00:04:10}}
now increasingly our Asia

{{00:04:12}}
partner is also, have a keen

{{00:04:16}}
interest in collaborating

{{00:04:17}}
and working with St.

{{00:04:18}}
Vincents.

{{00:04:19}}
So I just got back from,

{{00:04:20}}
from, bio Asia and Taipei.

{{00:04:24}}
And, again, a lot of

{{00:04:26}}
interest in working with,

{{00:04:27}}
with our hospital, with

{{00:04:28}}
our Australian community.

{{00:04:30}}
So, so I think what you

{{00:04:31}}
find is that in the next

{{00:04:32}}
few years, the expansions of

{{00:04:36}}
our geography coverage will

{{00:04:38}}
be a bit broader as well

{{00:04:40}}
but, but certainly at St.

{{00:04:41}}
Vincent's will, will continue

{{00:04:43}}
to foster those collaboration

{{00:04:46}}
and relationship building

{{00:04:47}}
with our industry partners.
