A free seminar at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga will tap into the expertise of a leading neurosurgeon, Dr Charlie Teo, to raise awareness of brain cancer. The event at 5.30pm Friday 25 July is supported by CSU, TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, and Cancer Council NSW. Dr Janelle Wheat, Associate Dean of Learning and Teaching with the CSU Faculty of Science , said Dr Teo is a renowned neurosurgeon and philanthropist who is devoted to the advancement and treatment of patients with brain cancers. "Brain cancer kills more Australian's under the age of 39 than any other cancer but it's also one of the least understood. Further research is needed to improve survival rates," said Dr Wheat. "Charles Sturt University is proud to support the Cancer Council to host this free, interactive presentation." Dr Teo will participate in the seminar via Skype conference and will answer questions from the public.
