CONQUER CANCER
Throughout May 2026, the Palmer Lab participated in a unique fundraiser involving a Guinness World Record attempt: a nonstop four-week relay around Princes Park to help conquer cancer
Funds raised support Camp Quality programs for children and families affected by cancer, along with cutting edge cancer research conducted in the Palmer Lab at The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health
Here are some members of the Palmer Lab taking part in the event! Go team!

Post-Doc Tongrui Qian was happy to carry the baton for the Palmer Lab!
Well done to all of our relay runners for their effort throughout the month!
Hefei and Luc had been training for this moment for years (from all of their running between buildings to transport precious lab samples!)
Eleonora broke her personal best for longest run! Well done!
Felix was elated to run for a Guinness World Record!
