In this episode, Josh interviews the man who helped make this grand adventure possible, his mentor, Professor Elgene Lim of the Kinghorn Cancer Centre in Sydney. Professor Lim is a medical oncologist specialising in breast cancer research. He has previously worked at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, completing his PhD under the mentorship of Dr Geoffrey Lindeman and Dr Jane Visvader with research focussed on identifying culprit cells in BRCA1 mutant gene carriers. He subsequently worked with Dr Eric Winer and Dr Myles Brown at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. As if this was not enough, Elgene is proud of his volunteer work with asylum seekers and his work with the Asha Kiran Hospital in Orissa, India, in a program of expertise transfer and partnership with local doctors.
