The mortality rates for many cancers afflicting the world's population are extremely high and these rates are consistent with the Australian experience. It is generally accepted that colon cancer, and cancers as a whole, are a significant healthcare issue and have immense socioeconomic impact. Alternative treatments preventing the spread of cancers would be of very significant benefit. This fellowship will provide the opportunity for the discovery and development of such treatments that are based on the processes that utilise carbohydrates to facilitate the spread of tumours.

影响世界人口的许多癌症的死亡率极高，这些死亡率与澳大利亚的经验一致。 人们普遍认为，结肠癌和癌症作为一个整体，是一个重大的医疗保健问题，并具有巨大的社会经济影响。 预防癌症扩散的替代疗法将具有非常显著的益处。该奖学金将为发现和开发基于利用碳水化合物促进肿瘤扩散的过程的此类治疗提供机会。
