Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute
Description

About us

Ballarat teenager Fiona Elsey lost her cancer battle in 1991 and could not have imagined the impact her courage would have on the community that mourned her. Fiona believed that research would one day offer a cure. Inspired and motivated by her determination, the community that loved and supported her, created a cancer research facility in her hometown of Ballarat, in regional Victoria. With 15 research and 5 development staff today, the Institute is led by that same doctor who cared for Fiona, Professor George Kannourakis. Housed at Federation University Technology Park Central (Ballarat), the Institute is attracting world renowned researchers and collaborating with the University of Melbourne, Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Monash University and Albert Einstein Medical Centre in New York. FECRI is mostly dependent on the remarkable generosity of the Institute’s community of donors. It is thanks to their continued support that this most critical research into cancer continues.
