Col Reynolds Fellows

A cohort of Australia's best researchers backed by a $7.6 million commitment.

Investing in the future of childhood cancer research

From a field of outstanding candidates across Australia, The Kids’ Cancer Project has funded the next generation of childhood cancer researchers through two rounds of Col Reynolds Fellowship applications. The Fellows represent a diverse range of research innovation and an investment commitment of $7.623 million. 

The Fellowships named to honour our Founder, Col Reynolds OAM, are designed to help future-proof the childhood cancer research sector by giving brilliant scientists and budding talent the resources needed to continue their lifesaving and life-changing work. 

The vision of this investment is to ensure every child with cancer survives to live a long and healthy life free from any side-effects.

CEO of The Kids’ Cancer Project, Owen Finegan, says that focusing funding on Australia’s next generation of scientists from the early stages of their careers is crucial to expanding our knowledge across all childhood cancers and reaching a day when 100% of kids with cancer survive and thrive after treatment.

The Fellows are sure to deliver breakthroughs across a range of areas relating to childhood cancer. The successful candidates, along with their institutes were chosen by our expert Research Advisory Committee (RAC) and are listed below: 

The aim of Col Reynold Fellowships is to ensure extraordinary Australian scientists with great ideas are supported. This supports our mission to provide scientists with the funding they need to make discoveries, translate pioneering research, advance treatments and build support programs that will improve survival rates for all young people with cancer and allow them to thrive after treatment.

The Col Reynolds Fellowships recognise that innovation is the only way a future cure will be found. We are proud to help power the pipeline of pioneering scientists who will be able to build on what has already been achieved. All of the individuals who are the inaugural recipients are exceptional and deserve to be congratulated on what they have already achieved.
