#StarsOfScience – Professor Jane Visvader's groundbreaking discoveries at @WEHI_research have fundamentally changed how we understand breast development and cancer.
Half a decade in the making 😱! Excited to share our recent work on #sclc#lungcancer. We are eternally grateful to all patients and donors who generously contributed to this study. 🙏
Excited to share our pre-print "γδ T cells modulate anti-tumor immunity in small cell lung cancer" from @Sutherland_Lab!
