Executive Chairman's Summary

Darren Lurie

“Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers globally, with a 5-year mortality rate of approximately 50 per cent – particularly if not detected and treated early. Despite this, there are currently limited tools to identify individuals who are likely to develop oral cancer, and patients are subjected to invasive biopsies. Our technology is making cancer screening less invasive and more efficient, enabling early diagnosis and surgical treatment. We’re delighted to receive this grant and excited to collaborate with the Melbourne Dental School to demonstrate how our technology can help save and improve lives."
