The Peter MacCallum Year 10 Work Experience program offers a unique opportunity for students interested in exploring the cancer research environment. Over the five-day program, students will engage in various activities, designed to provide them with insight into real-world research processes and cutting-edge technologies used to investigate fundamental cancer biology and therapeutics. Students will rotate through different research labs during the week, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of fields by the end of the program.
30 students will be selected to participate in the program, with six students/week attending.
