As part of our celebration for International Women鈥檚 Day we have enjoyed a focus on the many achievements of women in Science.
On Wednesday, we celebrated the grand opening of our brand new Senior Science Centre with special guest and Burgmann alumni, Dr Chelisa Cardinez ('13). Dr Cardinez is a postdoctoral researcher and is part of the Cancer Immunology laboratory at the John Curtin school of Medical Research, at ANU. Dr Cardinez's research focuses on investigating how cancer cells escape the immune system, specifically in melanoma and small cell lung cancer.
Dr Cardinez addressed our Senior School students, highlighting the importance of science in creating a brighter future. Senior School students also spent time reflecting on inspirational women in their lives and ways that we can continue to strive towards inclusion and equality.
