Primary brain cancer affects almost 2000 Australians every year and is sadly incurable. In this episode we’ll hear about how neuroscience might improve outcomes for people with brain cancer. Our guests are Professor Lucy Palmer, head of The Florey’s Neural Network Group. Lucy’s team works with live brain tissue samples donated by generous cancer patients, to better understand the relationship between tumours and the brain. We’ll also hear from Professor Kate Drummond,...

Motor neurone disease was first described in the 1800s, but it’s only in the last two decades that researchers have been able to make serious inroads into understanding this fatal neurodegenerative disease. Treatments remain very limited for patients and a cure is still some way off – but why is MND so challenging for patients, for their doctors and for researchers? Is there hope on the horizon? In this episode, we tackle just that. Joining us is neurologist and Florey researcher, Dr Th...
