23Strands is standing in solidarity in the fight against ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer remains one of the most fatal cancers affecting women. Globally, a woman or girl who is diagnosed with ovarian cancer faces a 49% chance of surviving the next five years. Despite this, research in ovarian cancer persists to be disproportionately low in comparison to other fields of oncology.
Press Release
As part of a prestigious program to encourage research collaboration, 23Strands has secured funding in partnership with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The Australian Research Council’s Linkage Program (ARC LP) aims to encourage and extend cooperative approaches to research and encourages the transfer of skills, knowledge and ideas as a basis for securing commercial and other benefits of research.
