Discoveries need dollars

With your support we can continue our work towards better treatment for, and prevention of, humanity’s most aggressive diseases.

Research funding stories

A philanthropic gift was the catalyst for WEHI's creation in 1915. Since then, donors have been critical in our ability to make fundamental advances in medicine and health, including:

• Game-changing imaging technology capable of producing astonishing 4D video of live cell biology  
• Travel scholarships for young researchers, funded by donations to our Run Melbourne team
• A five-year grant to fund early-phase clinical trials of anti-breast cancer drugs
