Can Uber and Google teach us something about diagnosing cancer?
This is the question Dr Jeremy Parry and a team of collaborators from Murdoch Uni, Fiona Stanley Hospital and PathWest will set out to discover with a 2020 Spinnaker Grant.

"Receiving this grant represents a wonderful opportunity for myself and my team to explore a new approach to diagnosing cancer which we hope will lead to improvements for patients. Without this Spinnaker grant we would not have the resources to pursue the idea."
