An excellent opportunity is available for a Group Leader with expertise in cellular therapies to join the Cancer Research program at QIMR Berghofer.

WARNING: Delicious content! Last week the QIMR Berghofer Student Society held its annual bake sale to raise money for the student retreat and Christmas party. It was a sweet success, fueled by the generosity of the Institute's best bakers!

We were excited to welcome Qld Health Minister @ShannonFentiman as she announced a new 10-year Research Strategy. Ms Fentiman met with researchers in Dr Siok Tey’s lab, who are helping to deliver cancer-fighting #cell #therapies to patients who have run out of treatment options.

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.

Thank you for sharing this incredible work. Read more 👇🏽👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾

We were delighted to welcome @CCQld to the Institute today to interview Doctors @MathiasSeviiri and @JStraubeBioinfo! This pair were recently awarded five-year Next Generation Cancer Research Fellowships.

Congratulations to Dr Mary Lorraine Mationg and Professor Darren Gray who made the cover of the journal Advances in #Parasitology with their educational parasite-prevention program The Magic Glasses. @ElsevierConnect @RaineMationg @DarrenG92787659 #education #health #research

Dr Nic Waddell is a cancer researcher and collaborative bioinformatician who is an expert in the interpretation of next generation sequence data. @TeamNicWaddell #IWD2024 #CountHerIn #QWW24 #WomensHistoryMonth #HerStory

Dr Claudia Bruedigam is part of an international team of scientists who have discovered a potentially new approach to targeting blood #cancer, acute myeloid #leukaemia. @cbruedigam #IWD2024 #CountHerIn #QWW24 #WomensHistoryMonth #HerStory

Farewell + thank you to Prof @drKhannaKK + some of her lab team who are moving to @MaterResearch! Professor Khanna started as a Research Officer at QIMR Berghofer in 1991 and has made a significant contribution to the Institute ...

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.

Just over 2 months ago, Chris Beath and his family and friends, including mate Sean Richardson, stunned us all by raising more than $50K for #cancer #research. Today, we had the pleasure of hosting Chris, his Dad Stuart, sister Nikkita + wife Sara at the Institute. @beath_chris

Missed posting my 10 year research anniversary by a couple of weeks. Still, an amazing ride and looking forward to what the next 10 years will bring! #clinician #scientist #QIMRBerghofer #RBWH #Haematology #Transplant

We chose #Townsville to launch the Institute's new #Community Advisory Group today, and what a fantastic time we had! #QIMR Berghofer's Director and CEO Professor @FabienneMackay spoke at a North #Queensland Club lunch event ...
