Jasmin Straube – Next Gen Research Fellowship [Video]

Each year, 326 Queenslanders are diagnosed with myeloid leukaemia. More than half of those who are diagnosed will pass away within five years of diagnosis.

Dr. Jasmin Straube is leading a groundbreaking research initiative aimed at changing the outcome for everyone diagnosed with myeloid blood cancers.

Her work, “Identifying vulnerabilities in leukemic stem cells with poor prognostic mutations to improve myeloid blood cancer patient outcomes,” seeks to unravel the complexities of gene mutations that determine a patient’s risk of disease progression and resistance to treatment. In recognition of the lifesaving potential of Dr Straube’s research, she has been granted a Cancer Council Queensland Next Generation Cancer Research Fellowship.
