Dr Nicole Seebacher committed to researching the most challenging cancers, particularly melanoma, after a friend died of the disease. She has also won numerous awards and appeared on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list along the way.
When 32-year-old Nicole Seebacher (BSc ’09, BSc (Hons) ’11, PhD ’15 (Medicine), MD ’20) enrolled at the University of Sydney, it was in a Bachelor of Science degree, with just eleven other students studying molecular biology and genetics.
It was her first taste of research, and the first time she felt she might be able to contribute something to the world.
