ORATION:
  2012 WESFARMERS HARRY PERKINS ORATION
  - Opportunities and challenges for cancer research and treatment - perspective from a cancer centre
		
Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:00 - The University Club of WA
		
Professor Joseph Albert Trapani, Executive Director Cancer Research, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne
Professor Trapani is a world leader in cancer research. His research
interests include the immunopathology of viral and auto-immune diseases
and cancer immunotherapy. Professor Trapani has published over 230
research papers.

Professor Trapani’s address will focus on the future of cancer
treatment. If researchers are claiming so many ‘breakthroughs’, why are
so many of my friends getting cancer? Are we really making progress? The
answer is a definite ‘yes’ there is much hope and good news… come to
hear about how we can work together to reduce the burden of cancer on
patients and carers.

The Oration has been established in memory of the late Harry Perkins,
who was WAIMR’s inaugural Chairman and the driving force behind the
formation of the Institute, whilst he was also Chairman of Wesfarmers.
He believed that without a high quality research environment in WA, it
would be difficult to recruit and retain the best doctors and, as a
consequence, service delivery to the community would suffer.

The Harry Perkins Oration is a FREE event for the community but
registration is essential as places are limited.
