UNSW Cancer Research Funding Program

Australia XinHui Chinese Culture Center sponsored $100,000 Australian dollars on Dr Jeremy Henson’s new cancer cures research project. Dr Henson graduated from UNSW in 1998 with an MBBS and a BSc that included two honour degrees (Pure Mathematics and Molecular Biology) and four majors. After graduating, Dr Henson has worked as a clinician for 15 years and has been a Career Medical Officer at Westmead Private Hospital since 2005. In 2007, Dr. Henson completed his PhD on the ALT cancer immortality mechanism at the University of Sydney School of Medicine And worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the Children’s Medical Research Institute for 7 years, where he correctly predicted the presence of a completely novel type of biomarker for the ALT immortality mechanism and invented the only quantitative assay for ALT cancer activity. The hardest to treat cancers use the ALT cancer mechanism, which is not found in normal cells, providing a specific target for the development of new treatment. Dr Henson uses patented technology for measuring ALT activity to generate the first ALT-targeted cancer cures. With our funding, it helps Dr Jeremy Henson cancer research group continue further research on the new ALT-cancer cures.
