Monday 27 April – Monday 4 May The Australian Government and Minderoo Foundation have announced a $67M investment into genomically guided, precision treatments for children and young adults diagnosed with cancer. Researchers in Queensland identified 33 new regions of the genome and confirmed another 21 previously reported regions that are linked to a person’s risk of developing melanoma of the skin. WEHI researchers have discovered a new population of specialised immune cells that maintain the health of breast ducts. |
