“The innovation in immunology and vaccine development is truly a wonder. I left feeling a new sense of appreciation for the dedication these researchers have in bettering not only human knowledge, but our collective health and wellbeing. A big thank you to QIRC for having me.”

The QIRC was pleased to recently welcome Elizabeth Watson-Brown MP to discuss the expertise and impact of immunology research here in Queensland. Prof Kirsty Short hosted a hands‑on lab experience.

Professor @khanna_rajiv AO and his team have developed super-charged immune cells to fight #glioblastoma, a highly aggressive #braincancer. Early preclinical results suggest that the CAR T #immunotherapy cells could kill #tumour cells and potentially prevent the cancer returning.
