Queensland families living with pancreatic cancer have more chance of beating the disease, with the State’s scientists among the first in the world to identify how the disease forms.
Premier Campbell Newman hailed this breakthrough as a significant scientific achievement that will give hope to many cancer sufferers both in Queensland and around the world.
“The battle to find a cure for cancer is a long road and this is a great step forward for many living with this awful disease,” Mr Newman said.
“I congratulate Professor Sean Grimmond and his dedicated team at the University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience.”
