Research

Since Can Too began in 2005, over $1,450,000 has been raised - a phenomenal effort.  Funds raised by Can Too have supported 19 researchers.

A message from Professor Martin Tattersall, Chairman, CCAF Medical Grants Advisory Committee:

Successful researchers need commitment and an ability to think laterally and cross-fertilise ideas.  Above all, they need mentoring and support.  That’s the view of Professor Martin Tattersall, Chairman of Cure Cancer Australia’s Medical Grants Advisory Committee, and he should know.  After three decades of work in clinical and cancer research, the Professor of Cancer Medicine at the University of Sydney has mentored some truly exceptional researchers. 

A renowned advocate of young cancer investigators, Professor Tattersalll acknowledges that the more support researchers get when they’re young, the more likely they are to have great ideas. “Most brilliant ideas occur before you’re 40,” he points out, “which is why I’m so supportive of Cure Cancer Australia’s concept.”
