QIMR Berghofer scientists have discovered two new breast cancer gene signatures that can give women a more accurate prediction about their survival chances.

“This is not just another test. It outperforms current tests and will apply to all breast cancers,” QIMR Berghofer's Dr Fares Al-Ejeh said. “Ultimately, it can mean overhauling treatment plans."

Eating disorders are more universal than we think. Anorexia and other eating disorders are not the realm of adolescent girls; studies show it affects both men and women, up to their 40s.

QIMR Berghofer researchers are conducting a study to find the genetic influences behind eating disorders, called ANGI, the Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative.
