Dr. Samantha Wade is a post-doctoral research fellow at IHMRI, researching better ways to administer cancer treatment. 

Through funding from PanCare Australia administered by Cancer Australia, as well as community support from the Illawarra Cancer Carers, Dr. Wade has created an implantable device which could change the way pancreatic cancer is treated in the future. 

Outside of the lab, Sam is a keen bush walker and rock climber. In this episode she tells us all about one climb in the Blue Mountains she will never forget.
