About
The objective of Brain Tumour Research SA is to foster and enhance research into the cause, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of brain tumours.
Our Story
On Monday 15 November we, the Molecular Therapeutics Laboratory at the Centre for Cancer Biology, are embarking on a virtual relay walk around Australia to raise money for vital brain tumour research. This trek will ‘take’ us 14,500km around the nation on National Highway 1.

No, we’re not all taking months off from our research benches to do this! But we have all committed to walking and running as much as we can each day as we undertake our research and daily lives. We’ll tally the distance we cover day after day and track how far that takes us around the country. We have set ourselves the challenging goal of completing the 14,500km journey in 16 weeks.
Please consider helping us raise essential funds for Brain Tumour Research SA/Neurosurgical Research Foundation and the vital brain tumour research they conduct into the causes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of brain tumours in order to improve patient outcomes and care in South Australia.
Follow us on Instagram (pitson_lab) and we’ll keep you updated as we ‘travel’ past many of the sights and attractions of our vast and beautiful country.
