Incurable doesn’t mean incapable. There are still paths to walk and bridges to cross. Cancer has taught me not to wait for perfect days - there aren’t any. So, get outside, cross the bridge, take the photo and make today count.
WEHI researchers and industry partner @MSDInvents have demonstrated a new vaccine approach that turned mosquito bites into ongoing immune boosters in pre-clinical studies.
Landmark research, now published in @ScienceMagazine.

Astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell in 1968. ✍️
In 1967, Bell Burnell (aged 24) was working on her Ph.D. at Cambridge when she discovered Pulsars. The discovery was one of the greatest breakthroughs in the history of astrophysics.
A study has found a protein signature in the blood can predict lung cancer risk more than five years before diagnosis.
The findings are a collaboration between Francis Crick Institute and University College London, co-led by Dr Clare Weeden who is now a WEHI laboratory head.
