Community outreach

zaklina at fundraising event

At the heart of what we do is our desire to help those suffering from cancer. Our passion for this extends beyond the lab and we are actively involved in supporting the broader cancer community. We proudly support charities like the Cure Cancer Australia, the Can Too Foundation and PanKind by participating in fundraising activities. We also actively engage with local cancer support groups and consumer representatives to ensure our work is addressing what matters most to cancer patients and their families. ​
