There is an increasing call, both nationally and internationally, to involve the public in identifying health research priorities particularly where funds for research are derived from public money/the community.
These workshops provide an opportunity for researchers to share their research with consumers and to freely engage in Q&A.
Harnessing consumer experience and needs is invaluable for informing science-driven research, and increasing the likelihood of success in attracting research funding.

TCRN member Kat Gaus was recently awarded a Cancer Council NSW grant
Her projects will explore how to empower T cells in their fight against lymphoma. T cells are a type of immune cell that can recognise and kill tumour cells – but when tumours are too big, these T cells become inactive. With special technology, the research team at UNSW Sydney, led by Professor Kat Gaus, will aim to rescue T cells, so they can keep fighting cancer cells.
