Madeleine Flynn is our VERY talented biomedical illustrator and Dr Siok Tey is our extraordinarily talented and hardworking clinician researcher!

Fantastic cover!

Dr Seviiri is working to better understand the #genetics 🧬 of #skin #cancer, while Dr Straube will study how gene mutations contribute to poor treatment outcomes in #blood #cancer patients.

We look forward to sharing their findings with you in the future.

Brain cancer is difficult to treat + kills about 1,500 people a year in Australia.

So, QIMR Berghofer and @BrisAirtrain have formed a special partnership to help fight the disease.

Help improve diagnosis + treatment by donating via the Airtrain website or at the ticket kiosk.
