Funding from the 2023 WCH Foundation Bloom Research Program is driving groundbreaking progress, as we recognise Brain Tumour Awareness Month 🧠🔬
This vital funding supports Professor Jordan Hansford of @sahmri_au, the Women’s and Children’s Health Network and his team, in partnership with @sapathology, in their work on GEL-E: Genomic and Epigenomic Predictors of Late Effects in Long Term Survivors of Paediatric Brain Cancer.
With South Australia`s first Paediatric Brain Tumour Biobank, the project is uncovering the genetic & epigenetic causes of brain cancer, helping to better understand the disease and its long-term effects. Remarkably, novel tumour subtypes with specific gene changes have been identified, paving the way for personalised treatments and improved care for young patients.
Together, we’re chasing healthier futures with all our might 💛

Mealtime can look different for everyone. For some children, tube-feeding is a vital part of their health journey. But for families, it can sometimes feel isolating, especially during meals shared in public spaces.
With your support we’re creating a beautiful ‘Mealtime Mural’ in the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Cafeteria. This artwork will celebrate the diversity of feeding, including tube-feeding, and make mealtime feel welcoming for everyone.
Visit the link in our bio to donate and make a meaningful difference for families today.
