The Andrews Labor government will allocate $1 million (US$678,100) to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre to develop new mRNA cancer treatments.
During the visit, Minister for Industry and Innovation Ben Carroll told the staff at the centre that what they are doing is not only saving lives but also creating jobs.
“Researchers at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre are building our mRNA industry to not only save lives but also to create secure jobs for workers across the state,” said Carroll.
The fund will provide a one-off grant of up to $500,000 to support research that focuses on infectious diseases like COVID-19 and non-communicable diseases like cancer, metabolic diseases, degenerative diseases and auto-immune diseases….
