Ongoing research provides the best hope for brain tumour patients’ survival and improved quality of life.  Cure for Life Foundation (CFLF) aims to be the premiere research funding body in the southern hemisphere dedicated to finding the cure for brain cancer.

CFLF is proud to be part of the new Lowy Cancer Research Centre at the University of New South Wales opening in October 2009.

The focus of the CFLF research team will be glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and deadliest of all brain tumours.

The Lowy Cancer Research Centre will be an Australian first, bringing together childhood and adult cancer research at one site. Housing up to 400 researchers from UNSW and the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia (CCIA), the centre will be one of the largest dedicated cancer research centres in the Southern Hemisphere.

The next stage in this campus will be a University of New South Wales and Prince of Wales Hospital collaborative to build a Clinical Trials Research Facility located between the two institutions. This will provide the research team with the vehicle to trial new therapies that have been developed at the Lowy Cancer Research Centre.
