Children's Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to childhood cancer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our purpose )〕 The organisation's vision is to save the lives of all children with cancer and improve the quality of life for survivors.〔 == History == In 1975, Jack Kasses and John Lough met in the waiting room of Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick, where their daughter and son respectively were undergoing treatment for leukaemia. Lough approached the Apex Club in Wollongong to raise money for cancer research. They started the “Help a Kid Make It” campaign - with a target of $1 million to facilitate research into childhood cancer.〔The Apex Foundation (2015). ''Annual Report 2014-2015''. Retrieved from The Apex Foundation website: http://www.apexfoundation.org.au/ApexFoundation/media/Apex/News/2014-15-Annual-Report.pdf〕 The Children’s Leukaemia and Cancer Foundation was established in May 1976. The foundation evolved into Children's Cancer Institute, which opened its own research laboratories in 1984. The first scientists to join the Institute were Michelle Haber AM (now Executive Director), Murray Norris AM (now Deputy Director) and Maria Kavallaris (now Program Head, Tumour Biology & Targeting). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Children's Cancer Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
