Our research

Over the past 25 years, the Leukaemia Foundation has committed more than $61 million towards blood cancer research in Australia.

Currently we have 26 grants with a total value of $11.1 million (as at December 2025)

We’ve proudly funded leading scientists and clinicians at all career stages to help advance diagnostics, treatments and drug therapies for people with blood cancer. Some of these research projects have been co-funded through partnerships with  leading organisations and agencies including the Haematology Society of Australia and New Zealand (HSANZ), Cancer Australia, the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG), Tour De Cure, Blood Cancer United (previously known as the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Society), and Snowdome Foundation.

This critical research wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of our community supporters and donors who share our vision for transforming care and finding a cure for people with blood cancer.
