We invite all members of the blind and low vision community who are of primary or secondary school age, to tertiary students and adults of all ages, who would wish to discover more about cancer to the annual Sensory Scientific Exhibition and Discovery Day at the Biomedicine Discovery Institute, Monash University.
Our Cancer Program will host a range of activities and displays, designed for a blind and low vision audience. Learn about the marvels and curiosities of the human body and its defence system through sound, 3D models, hands-on activities and tactile displays. The event will cover a range of topics including learning about cells and cell division, tumour growth and invasion, the genetic basis of cancer, interactions with the body’s immune system and new and existing treatments for cancer.
