Professor Cheah wins 2023 WA Cancer Researcher of The Year!
“I would like to thank Cancer Council WA for this incredible honour. More than one thousand West Australians are diagnosed with a blood cancer each year, and thousands more are living with the disease. While some are cured using chemotherapy, many are not. They need better treatments and clinical trials are the fastest way to deliver them. In five years we have created one of the most successful Haematology Clinical Research programs in the country, delivering cutting edge treatments to WA patients years before commercial availability”.
