Great to catch up with Rameen Beroukhim at #Lornecancer - talking genomics, brain cancer and a little parenting advice 😄. It’s been amazing to have so many international leaders in Melbourne this week. Thanks to BrainCancerCentre and @Bando_Lab for bringing everyone together.

The Quad Cancer Moonshot means more collaboration between our hospitals, research centers, and cancer foundations, more investment in screenings, treatment, and research, and more exchanges between our countries to improve vaccination rates across the region. It matters.
