New research into "chemobrain" hopes to influence the development of treatments to reduce the impact of cancer therapy on the brain. A grant of nearly $500,000 has been awarded to a UNSW Sydney scientist to investigate how the relationship between gut and brain health is impacted by chemotherapy, in young adults with cancer. Dr Caitlin Cowan, a microbiome-gut-brain relationship expert, returned to the university last year as an NHMRC research fellow and a Superstar of STEM, and will now be exploring an important, under-studied question in cancer science.
