Scientific advances have led us to diagnosing, treating and preventing cancer much better than ever before. Still, 10 million people die of cancer every year and what we need now are transformative ideas. In this episode you’ll hear from Dr Amanda Khoury and Dr Braydon Meyer who are using AI to develop the next generation of cancer treatments and diagnostics.

In Australia alone, 50 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's every day. Therapy options are limited, as they are for other movement and muscle disorders, such as ataxia and dystonia. In this episode of Medical Minds, we meet neurologist and researcher Associate Professor Kishore Kumar, who is working on the next big breakthroughs for treatment.

The human body has an incredible capacity to heal itself – whether it’s a paper cut, a broken bone, or your lungs recovering after a chest infection. But not all types of healing are good for us. Cancers seem to have hijacked the healing process to protect themselves from treatments and to spread more easily around the body. In this episode, we speak to Associate Professor Thomas Cox, who is working to put a stop to this and make existing cancer therapy more effective.

More than 33,000 people in Australia today are affected by multiple sclerosis, a disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord, for which there is no cure. In this episode, you’ll meet Dr Seyhan Yazar and Professor Tri Phan who are working to better manage, treat and prevent MS, by investigating what could be a critical link between this disease and a very common virus, the Epstein-Barr Virus.
