Advancing epigenetics research will deliver life-saving melanoma treatments

The collective impact we can make to improving the outcomes for melanoma patients with our cumulative philanthropic support is limitless and life-saving.

Philanthropy holds the key to progressing the innovative, world-leading medical research of Dr Jessamy Tiffen and her team in the Epigenetics of Melanoma Program at the Centenary Institute.

Together we can drive discovery and advance knowledge.

In 2016 a Time Magazine front page read “what if your immune system could be taught to kill cancer?”.

The paradigm shift in the work of Dr Jessamy Tiffen and her team can be summarised in a revised title for Time Magazine: “what are the critical cheats notes to impart on immune cells so that they can become serial cancer killers.”

The discoveries that Dr Tiffen and her team make will be progressed to inform new attempts at educating immune cells. Beyond cancer, these discoveries can impact our capacity to fight infections and other diseases.

Please share our vision to improve human health through supporting excellence in medical research.
