Monash University Professor Jonathan Baell is among a team of Melbourne scientists that has been awarded the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) Clunies Ross Award for Knowledge Commercialisation.

The researchers, including Professor Anne Voss and Associate Professor Tim Thomas from the Walter and Eliza Institute of Medical Research (WEHI), have developed an entirely new and innovative approach to cancer treatment that essentially puts cancer cells to sleep, without the harmful side effects caused by conventional therapies.

The ATSE Clunies Ross Award for Knowledge Commercialisation recognises an individual or small team responsible for the discovery, development and adoption of a technology and for sharing their knowledge leading to commercialisation, for example by licensing, with a significant financially successful outcome.
