In 70 years ALL children diagnosed with cancer will survive. But while their lives will be saved, how can we make sure we limit the side effects of treatment? How can we make sure they thrive, not just survive?

Dr Jordana McLoone is a post-doctoral researcher in the School of Women’s and Children’s Health. Her research focuses on investigating the needs of children with cancer, particularly after treatment completion, to ensure they not only survive but thrive. 

This talk and interview are part of Unsomnia: a series of short talks for restless minds.

Tackling the issues that keep us up at night, imagining the inconceivable and envisioning the future, UNSW researchers have just 10 minutes each to explain what life we will be living in the future.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of UNSW Sydney, researchers were asked to take stock of what society used to be, fast forward to today’s world and look ahead another 70 years.
