A new Cancer Signaling Research Laboratory is opening in early May 2008. 

This complete refurbishment and renovation of this laboratory has been generously funded by a donation from John T. Reid Charitable Trusts to The Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation.

"We are extremely grateful for the considerable support given to the neurosciences at The Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation over many years by the John T. Reid Charitable Trusts." said Professor Andrew Kaye, Director of Neurosurgery at The Royal Melbourne Hospital and Trustee of the Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation.      

The new laboratory located within the Department of Surgery at The University of Melbourne will undertake important research advancing the understanding of tumour growth and tumour spread. 

Mrs Margaret Ross AM, Chairman of John T. Reid Charitable Trusts will open the Cancer Signaling Laboratory.
