2012 Wesfarmers' Harry Perkins Oration

October 11th, 2012

Professor Joseph Trapani.

If researchers are claiming so many 'breakthroughs', why are so many of my friends getting cancer? Are we really making progress?

The answer is a definite 'yes.'

In November, Wesfarmers' and the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR) are hosting the annual Harry Perkins Oration and spreading hope and good news about cancer to members of the community.

Professor Joseph Trapani, who will be visiting Perth from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute in Melbourne, will be the special guest at the event, which will be held at the University of Western Australia.

Members of the public are invited to come along to hear about the future of cancer research, new treatments and how we can work together to reduce the burden of cancer on patients and carers.

The Wesfarmers' Harry Perkins Oration for 2012 will be held between 4pm and 5pm on Friday 2 November at the University Club of WA, off Hackett Drive.

It is free, including refreshments, but registration is essential as places are limited.

Please contact WAIMR on 9224 0333 / 9224 0324 or email margot.clarke@waimr.uwa.edu.au by 25 October 2012 to reserve your seat. This event is not-to-be-missed event for anybody in Perth who is interested in cancer research and immunotherapy.
