Westmead. $75,000 grant for research

Dr Rose Boutros, at the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) has been awarded a grant of $75,000 grant, by the Ramaciotti Foundations, to enable her to continue her biomedical research. Dr Boutros’ research is aimed at understanding cell division and how its misregulation can result in cancer. Vera and Clive Ramaciotti established the charity 40 years ago and since then have contributed $48.5 million in grants to creative and cutting-edge medical research, which often struggles to attract funding from mainstream sources.
