She dedicated 42 years to curing childhood cancer, helped double survival rates in leukaemia children and now leads a global revolution in personalised treatment.

Professor Michelle Haber is the Executive Director of the Children’s Cancer Institute. What began as a three-person lab in 1984 has now grown into a world-leading research institute responsible for doubling survival rates in some of the deadliest childhood cancers.

In this episode of Chew the Fat, Michelle shares how academic success was an expectation, not a debate in her family, her breakthrough discovery that made global headlines and the Zero Childhood Cancer Program that is changing the way we treat high-risk cancers in children.

She also reveals what it feels like when a parent tells her, “You saved our child’s life,” and why, after four decades, she still wakes up every morning with more fire than ever.
