Taking on one of the world’s most deadly diseases, Tuberculosis

The Centenary Institute’s 'When Art Meets Science' exhibition is a highlight of this year’s Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) March Arts program, a month-long celebration that brings art into hospitals to promote wellbeing.

The Centenary Institute’s Dr Mojdeh Abbasi recently attended ‘Science Meets Parliament’ in Canberra, an event organised by Science Technology Australia to foster stronger connections between scientists and federal policymakers.

The challenges faced by women in science took centre stage at the panel discussion, ‘Breaking through: The unspoken barriers for women in medical research’.

Two Centenary Institute researchers—Professor Philip Hogg and Dr Alex Cole—have been awarded grants under the Tour de Cure cancer research funding scheme. The funding will support their groundbreaking research into melanoma, and aggressive cancers, including ovarian and pancreatic cancers.
