What's On

The Centenary Institute takes an active role in the community. We are committed to fostering an atmosphere of collaboration among Australian scientists and the global community. To that end Centenary hosts a twice weekly scientific seminar series as well as colloquium on topics of emerging interest.

It is an unfortunate truth that medical research is expensive. The Centenary Institute hosts fundraising events to supplement our income. To find out more about how you can help please click here.

Join us on Tuesday, 17 August 2010 to celebrate National Science Week!

The evening will feature presentations from three of the Centenary’s brilliant young scientists, whose work is making a profound impact on the field of medical research.

Dr Nick West of the Mycobacterial group will discuss his latest research into vaccine development for TB, a disease that kills over 2 million people worldwide each year.

Dr Nikolas Haass of the Immune Imaging group will present his work on Melanoma, one of the fastest growing cancers in Australia.

Dr Jeff Holst of the Gene and Stem Cell Therapy group will discuss his findings in Prostate Cancer, a disease that affects millions of men across the world.

Presentations will be followed by refreshments and a tour of the labs, where you can see first-hand how our scientists are transforming the field of medical research.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to see how Centenary scientists are making the important discoveries of tomorrow.
