Congratulations on grant win to research immunity!

Dr Bateman observed that winning the SWTCRC ECR Accelerator grant is a big step forward saying, “Our collaboration unites research at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and Westmead Institute for Medical Research. This enables innovative therapies to be translated for use on children by using knowledge gained from research based on adults.”
