New report from the research done by the Children's Medical Research Institue stated that "one in twenty children are born with birth defects and genetic diseases such as cancer and epilepsy and 300 children in Australia lose their lives to a childhood disease each year."
So this figure is very alarming and CMRI has done fundraising over two decades to fund its research projects.
Children's Midical Research Institute's director Professor Roger Reddel said that:
"There are quite a large proportion of children who were there in a treat that is in hospital, are there because they got cancer or because they got an inherited diseases or a birth defects. So there will be genetic component of about 70% of the children who are in most specialized children hospitals. So coming up with ways of addressing inherited diseases, genetic diseases is extremely important. And that is another strain of what we are doing at Children's Medical Research Institute and off course again, in collaboration with other institutes in Sydney, and around Australia and around the world, is coming up with new way to tackle inherited diseases and the ultimate aim would be to be able to go into the tissues that are affected by the genetic diseases and to correct the genetic defected at its source."
Jeans for Genes is part of the fundraising agency that raised funds to help CMRI's cancer researches. Barry Kenyon, the fundraising manager of Jeans for Genes said that it is very expensive and it cost million dollar to get new technology to analise cancer cell in order to understand cancer better and to improve cancer treatment precision specializing for individuals that could reduce the diagnose time from 3 months to just days that oncologist can specifically treat each patients sooner.
Professor Roger Reddel who is responsible for this new cancer research initiative project ACRF - ProCan said "All of the funds raised through Jeans for Genes day (4th August 2017) are used to help research at Children's Medical Research Institute on inherited diseases, cancer research and epilepsy and other serious diseases of childhood."
"This research institute was set up nearly 60 years by the public because they know how important is cancer research can do to prevent children dying and being disable by serous diseases, and we have greatly enjoyed the public supports ever since, said Dr. Reddel.
"We will start implement some of the result within two years, I would expected. But because the project required very large amount of information, it is going to take 5 to 7 years before the full benefit of the program will be available." reiterated Professor Roger Reddel.
