Xbox ANZ and Cure Cancer are partnering with Dr. Arutha Kulasinghe of The University of Queensland to unveil three custom Xbox Series X consoles inspired by Dr. Kulasinghe’s award-winning cancer research.
These stunning designs are based on Dr. Kulasinghe’s special tumour mapping approach, aided by Akoya Biosciences and Nanostring Technologies. This process allows medical experts and specialists to identify cellular architecture and areas that were resistant to treatment, a life-changing milestone for anyone undergoing cancer treatment.
Dr. Arutha Kulasinghe remarked: “These groundbreaking realisations of how cells organise and communicate have been captured by these images that are now featured on the Xbox Series X consoles. With Xbox and Cure Cancer, we’ve been able to further highlight the transformative leaps we’ve achieved in cancer research.”
The Cure Cancer CEO, Nikki Kinloch, added, “It is truly incredible how this rare moment of scientific breakthrough is beautifully represented through this collaboration with Xbox. It brings much-needed awareness for supporting groundbreaking cancer research to the wider community, which has always been our mission at Cure Cancer. We are extremely proud of Dr Arutha. Being able to see resistance and sensitivity to current generations of cancer therapies at the time of diagnosis is groundbreaking, and it can be life-changing for those who are going through cancer treatment.”
