A new brain tumour model to provide more realistic test responses to chemo and radiotherapy is being developed by NSW scientists. “High-grade brain cancer is very aggressive and treatment outcomes have not improved much for several decades,” says Dr Annemarie Nadort of Macquarie University, who is leading the research. “One of the reasons for this…
3D bioprinting of organs with edible seaweed for pharmaceutical research Bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to people can cost as much as one billion dollars, and take over 30 years. Aurelien Forget (Queensland University of Technology) is trying to reduce that time and cost by using edible seaweed to 3D-print organ replicates. The edible seaweed…
Fresh Science is on hold for 2022. We will be back in 2023.
Let us know if you want to receive updates about the program.
Fresh Science is a national competition and training program helping early-career researchers find and share their stories of discovery.
We take young researchers with no media experience and help them become media spokespeople for their science, and reach stakeholders in government and industry.
Fresh Science gives finalists a taste of life in the limelight, with a day of media training, a day of training in stakeholder engagement, and a public event in their home state.
Alumni of the program include Professor Allan Duffy and Dr Niraj Lal.
Read some of the fresh science we discovered in 2021 here.
