Centre for Advanced Technologies in Cancer Research

Meet Colin La Galia — on the Advisory Board Member at the Centre for Advanced Technology in Cancer Research (CATCR).
Colin is driving a bold vision for cancer care in WA: expanding clinical trials, advancing research, and integrating holistic, patient-centred treatment models. At Icon, he oversees multidisciplinary cancer care; at CATCR, he’s helping shape the strategy to bring world-class innovation and access to cutting-edge treatment closer to home.
With strong leadership and collaboration, Colin is helping move the needle — turning bold ideas into better outcomes for cancer patients everywhere.

🧬 This is James Harris — cancer researcher, treatment innovator, and founder of the Centre for Advanced Technology in Cancer Research (CATCR).

After a difficult medical experience involving his father’s stage four cancer diagnosis, James made it his mission to ensure families in WA don’t need to look overseas for life-saving care. From building cancer simulators at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital to winning an international award for a breakthrough stage four breast cancer protocol, James is turning cutting-edge research into treatment — right here at home.

Through CATCR, he’s uniting clinics, researchers and charities to fast-track innovation and improve outcomes.
