Today @Mal_Ameratunga spoke to @Rebecca7Maddern from @7NewsMelbourne about our new BETTER trial, which is all thanks to a $210,000 donation from the @AusSkinCancer. Read about the trial: masc.org.au/fundraising-boos…
A clinical trial will soon get underway in Melbourne, hoping to revolutionise how we treat a deadly skin cancer that attacks the brain. To learn more, @Rebecca7Maddern spoke with Dr @Mal_Ameratunga from the Alfred Hospital, and trial participant Peter Wilson. #7NEWS

This pic was taken on the first day when I started in @Shack_Lab as an UROP student. Nick was such a kind and generous metor. His office was always open, and would let me sit next to him for hours to workout challenging problems. I still remember our high-fives afterwards. 😆
