18.01.2022 Thank you to all who visited The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute at Translational Research Institute last weekend as part of World Science Festival Brisbane We hope you were inspired by the wonders of the science world and you come back to visit again soon!

18.01.2022 Its been 4 weeks since we started this fundraiser, and 1 week since 60 medical researchers climbed 810 stairs to the rooftop of Waterfront Place. Now its time... to wrap up with our final group - team TRI-ing. Theyre studying the varying rates of wound healing and the development of skin cancers by aiming to understand the similarities between these usually separate fields. Researchers aim to reduce and eliminate these painful and expensive conditions and continue to do this work with thanks to fundraisers like Climb for Cancer Australia. Thank you to everyone for your support of our campaign, but most of all to our researchers who make this so worthwhile - THANK YOU! www.tri.edu.au/climbforcancer The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute See more
