#ChildhoodCancer. For every 10 children diagnosed with cancer, two will not survive. Those who do often suffer long-term health issues because current therapies can affect children's growing bodies. Our scientists are looking for more precise, safer treatments to improve survival and reduce harmful side-effects. Change for childhood cancer starts here.

Hudson Institute's RNAte platform was represented recently at Advances in mRNA Science (AIMS) meeting in Melbourne. The meeting showcased the ground-breaking advancements in mRNA technology across Australia where our RNAte Chief Scientific Advisor, A/Prof Michael Gantier, presented his vital work on 3-mer oligo as antagonist in Toll-like Receptor pathways.   Read more about our RNAte platform here: https://lnkd.in/gFKXAe7d

The Victorian Paediatric Cancer Consortium (VPCC) recently visited two of our consortium partners in the Clayton precinct: Monash Health's Monash Children's Hospital and the Hudson Institute of Medical Research. With 8 consortium partners, our site visits are always a fantastic opportunity to strengthen our partnerships to accelerate research, innovation and collaboration for childhood cancer. VPCC CEO Dr Udani Reets and Communications and Development Manager Merrin Morrison met with many key staff, including Prof John Heath, Dr Michelle Martin, and Amanda St John from the Children’s Cancer Centre at Monash Children’s Hospital. They also caught up with Naama Neeman from the Hudson Institute. A huge thank you to our hosts for their warm welcome and for sharing their valuable insights. Together, we are working to revolutionise childhood cancer care.

Some weeks back, I posted about how my daughter Raya was deciding what career path to take in the medical field. Well as part of that, she and her friend who is also a childhood cancer survivor, were interviewed on TV by the News atAustralian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). This is all to help raise awareness for Hudson Institute of Medical Research into #childhoodcancer and to raise money through an appeal. Please visit and donate if you are able to https://lnkd.in/gDWrCcUd Many thanks to Naama Neeman for this incredible opportunity offered to my daughter, Catherine Carmichael for making the time to preside over her work experience and Rob Clancy for the opportunity for Raya to share her story with Australia.

Got to dust off my rusty voice-over skills during the week to help tell the story of 2 inspiring girls and one of many fabulous Hudson Institute of Medical Research scientists. It's all about raising funds to advance lifesaving medical research. Please donate if you can.

#Leukaemia is the most common form of #ChildhoodCancer and the second greatest cause of cancer deaths in children. 💔 Those children who do survive, often experience life-long side effects from the highly toxic treatments used to treat the disease. We need better, safer cancer treatments for children. 🔬 Two remarkable teenagers, Tianna and Raya, fought and beat leukaemia, and are now determined to pursue a career in healthcare. They recently took part in work experience with Dr Catherine Carmichael, one of our childhood cancer researchers looking for new and improved treatments. Change for childhood cancer starts here at @Hudson_Research. ❤️🔥 Support our life saving research now. #Donate before 31 December, or read more about our research here: https://bit.ly/3AOTp76

Almost 10% of #Australian babies are born #Premature. 🚼 Rates of preterm birth are almost double among Aboriginal Australians and disadvantaged communities. Our researchers are investigating ways to prevent, reduce, and treat complications related to preterm birth. Our work aims to improve the function of underdeveloped organs like the lung and brain, ultimately improving the child's long-term prognosis. This #WorldPrematurityDay read more about our preterm birth research: https://bit.ly/3YRjfPI
