Funded Activity Summary

One in three of us are likely to die from cancers. Groundbreaking research, including those made by Prof Huang, has revealed some of the reasons why cancers arise. An attractive way to transform the poor outcomes for cancer patients is to develop better medicines based on findings made by the basic researchers. Prof Huang leads a team at WEHI, including chemists, focused on developing better drugs that exploit knowledge garnered through such basic research in order to improve cancer treatment.
