Just imagine the impacts that this research will have for years to come!

In other exciting news, three of our researchers at the UQ Thoracic Research Centre, Hannah O’Farrell, Brielle Parris and Tian Mun (Kelly) Chee, have recently been awarded their PhDs.

We at The Common Good would like to congratulate Hannah, Brielle and Kelly on their wonderful achievements!
