What is Personalised Medicine?
Personalised medicine, also known as precision medicine, is medical treatment that takes into consideration the specific differences in the patient’s genes, environment, and lifestyle. The goal is to tailor the medical treatment to the specific characteristics of each patient, allowing for more accurate and effective treatment of the individual.

Inspiring South Australian Women 2023 - Commendation
We are delighted to share that LLRF Chair Madelyn Duckmanton received a commendation in the Inspiring South Australian Women's Award 2023, from the Australia Day Council of South Australia. This tremendous achievement reflects her dedication to raising awareness of Ovarian Cancer, through funding research and speaking at community events.
How Improved Treatment will Improve Outcomes
We often speak about our focus on funding research to find an early detection test, however this is not the only research that we support. Alongside a screening test, we are also focussing our efforts to fund research to improve treatment for women diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer.
Research Funding for Early Detection and Improved Treatment
The LLRF board and I recently had the pleasure of meeting with some of the research team working on the projects that the foundation is supporting, and I would like to share some information about the research we are helping to fund at the University of South Australia.
