7NEWS Interview: Advancing Brain Cancer Research

As part of the recent Grey Matter Gala, Channel 7NEWS visited the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre for an exclusive interview of Daniela Dwyer Foundation Director, Taylor Bow, and Professor Sudha Rao from QIMR Berghofer.

The segment highlights Professor Rao’s groundbreaking work developing a new liquid biopsy technology that has the potential to transform how brain cancer is detected and monitored — offering hope for earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment.

Taylor and Professor Rao also discussed the vital role of community support and funding from the Daniela Dwyer Foundation in accelerating this important research.

Watch the full interview below.

The Daniela Dwyer Foundation is proud to champion Professor Rao’s innovative research. Our funding has helped drive this world-first liquid biopsy technology to its current clinical trial, and eventual national use.

With continued support, this work has the potential to give doctors the ability to track brain cancer progression through a simple blood test — sparing patients from invasive procedures and allowing for faster, more personalised treatment decision.
