Today, on World Leukaemia Day, we shine a light on the many people affected by leukaemia and the research helping to change outcomes for patients and families.

While survival continues to improve for many forms of leukaemia, outcomes can still vary significantly between different subtypes, highlighting the need for ongoing investment in research.

At Snowdome, we’re committed to supporting the researchers and clinicians working to develop better treatments, improve survival, and bring hope to everyone affected by leukaemia and other blood cancers.

Together, we’re helping drive the discoveries that will shape the future of blood cancer care.

Blood cancer is not a single disease. It is an umbrella term for more than 120 different types of blood cancer.

Leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasms - along with many other blood cancers - each present unique challenges for patients, families and clinicians.

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. We recognise the diversity and complexity of blood cancers, and the estimated 20,000 Australians diagnosed with a blood cancer each year.

At Snowdome, our commitment has always been to support research that advances better treatments, improves outcomes and brings us closer to cures across the full spectrum of blood cancers.

Every diagnosis deserves hope. Together, we can make that hope real.

This National Science Week, we’re celebrating the researchers whose ideas have the potential to transform patient outcomes. We’re proud to spotlight Dr Muhammed B Sabdia, a recipient of the Gunn Family Haematology Fellowship and a post-doctoral researcher at Mater Research.

Muhammed’s research, Personalised immunotherapy for the treatment of light chain (AL) Amyloidosis, investigates how mRNA technology could be used to develop a personalised vaccine for people living with AL Amyloidosis.

“I am very excited about the translational potential of this project and what that could mean for patients with AL Amyloidosis, as well continuing to work closely with Snowdome ... hopefully delivering many more exciting milestones in the years ahead.” – Dr Muhammed B Sabdia

His work highlights the power of innovative thinking and the importance of supporting emerging researchers to pursue bold ideas with the potential to improve lives.

Through the Gunn Family Haematology Fellowship, Snowdome is proud to back researchers working towards better treatments and brighter futures for patients and families affected by blood cancers and related diseases. Our thanks to the Gunn family, whose commitment to nurturing research talent helps make this work possible.

We are deeply grateful for his support, friendship and commitment to our mission.

Today, on , the Snowdome Foundation stands with people living with rare blood cancers and the loved ones who support them.

While blood cancer is one of Australia’s most common cancers, there are more than 120 different types across leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma—many of them incredibly rare. Behind every diagnosis is a person navigating uncertainty and hoping for better treatment options and outcomes.

At Snowdome, we are proud to support the research that turns that hope into reality.❄
