National Research Program
Our National Research Program supports innovative research projects with the potential to save lives, transform treatments and improve outcomes for people with blood cancer.
The research program drives advancements in new diagnostics, treatments and novel therapies, while supporting the careers of promising scientists and clinicians.
Over the past 25 years, the Leukaemia Foundation has dedicated more than $62 million to support Australian blood cancer research.
We aim to fund high-impact research and concentrate our resources on projects which can potentially help the greatest number of people living with blood cancer.
The Leukaemia Foundation’s research priorities are:
- Understanding the biology of blood cancers
- Diagnostics and prevention
- Therapies and care options
- Implementation science
This life-saving work continues to deliver positive impacts for people with blood cancer and is made possible by our generous donors and fundraising community. Find out how you can contribute.
