Research Summary

Fibre diffraction of hair can be used as a totally non-invasive screening test for breast cancer for women of all ages. (with Professor John Kearsley [Cancer Care, St George Hospital, Sydney], Dr B.E. Willis [Eastmoreland Hospital, Portland Oregon], Dr Osmo Räsänen, [Breast Cancer Centre, Turku, Finland])

Fibre diffractionis able to diagnose the presence of these cancers at an earlier stage than any other cancer. (with Dr Terry Robertson, Dr Alex Boyd and Professor John Papadimitriou,[Division of Pathology, School of Surgery and Pathology University of WA])
