Beyond the Bench – In Memory of Dad

I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.

My Story

I am a biomedical scientist working in nanomedicine, developing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to improve the targeted delivery of potential treatments.

My work has shown me the importance of cancer research, but losing my father to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has made this cause deeply personal.

On 8 December, my father's birthday, I will dedicate an evening to my research on lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and their potential role in developing better cancer treatments. I dedicate this work to his memory, with the hope of contributing to a future where more families have better treatment options and hope.

Through this initiative, I hope to raise awareness and support cancer research towards better treatment possibilities for patients and their families.

Why I am Fundraising

Cancer affects more than the person diagnosed. It touches families, friends and entire communities. Research is essential to improving our understanding of cancer and developing better ways to prevent, detect and treat it.

I hope this small initiative can contribute to a bigger purpose.

How You Can Help

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. If you are able to donate or share this page, I would be truly grateful for your support.

Thank you for being part of this journey and helping me honour my father's memory.

Because research goes beyond the bench. It is about the lives we hope to make better.

This one is for Dad.
