With one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world, Australia was the first country in the world to implement and sustain a national bowel cancer screening program using faecal immunochemical tests. Backed by a succession of NHMRC grants, Professor Graeme Young AM of Flinders University made key contributions to the program’s initial development and ongoing conduct. Watch and listen to Professor Young speak to bowel cancer prevention and impact on survival in Australia on our recent Speaking of Science webinar: https://ow.ly/Ishp50ZnEh6
