Every day, our Anatomical Pathologist, Associate Professor Marissa Muller, diagnoses bowel cancer and sees firsthand the impact this disease has on patients and their families.
For Marissa, this cause is also deeply personal. Having lost her mother-in-law to bowel cancer, she understands the importance of raising awareness, supporting research and encouraging early detection.
This year, Marissa is taking on the Sydney Marathon to raise funds for Bowel Cancer Australia, helping to support vital research, education and advocacy for those affected by bowel cancer.
Every kilometre she runs represents hope for a future where fewer people hear the words, "You have bowel cancer."
We're incredibly proud to support Marissa as she combines her passion for patient care with a commitment to making a difference beyond the laboratory.
