Founded in 2023, our Next Generation Cancer Research Fellowships mark a new era of cancer research at Cancer Council Queensland.
Replacing the ACCR grants scheme, these fellowships fund early career cancer researchers who are on the front-line of clinical innovations in cancer detection and treatment.
Fund local research, make global breakthroughs
Partner with Cancer Council Queensland and help us fund the brightest minds in cancer research. Your investment funds local research and to make global breakthroughs by directly funding early career cancer researchers who are on the front-line of clinical innovations in cancer detection and treatment.

Meet the 2024 Next Generation Cancer Research Fellowship recipients
Dr Mostafa Kamal Masud
Dr. Masud, from The University of Queensland, is conducting research focused on developing a device which, using nanoengineered structures, aims to make it possible to detect early-stage ovarian cancer within 2 hours at a GP clinic.
Dr Jasmin Straube
Dr. Jasmin Straube from QIMR Berghofer is researching vulnerabilities in leukemic stem cells carrying poor prognostic mutations. Her work will play a critical role in improving outcomes for patients with myeloid blood cancer.
Dr Mathias Seviiri
Dr. Mathias Seviiri, also from QIMR Berghofer, is tackling the complex landscape of skin cancer. His research aims to unravel the complex relationships between genetics, treatment responses, and adverse events in patients undergoing treatment for melanoma and keratinocyte cancers.
