He has been at the forefront of translating an Australian basic science discovery into the first of a new class of anti-cancer drugs for patients with haematological malignancies. His research with clinical colleagues has also demonstrated the potential venetoclax has to combine effectively with other drugs as future treatments for leukaemias, lymphomas and myeloma.
