Extended interview with Professor Ian Frazer

28 April: 6:43pm

Founding and former CEO of the TRI, Professor Ian Frazer, was interviewed by Ticky Fullerton of ABC's The Business on the eve of the Advance Queensland Summit about the future of the Medical Research Future Fund. The MRFF board, of which Professor Frazer is the chair, meets for the first time next week to discuss how government funding for medical research will be managed.

"We're in budget mode now, but remember back to the disastrous tough budget of 2014. What ever did happen to that $20 billion Medical Research Future Fund that was supposed to underpin the transition to the new economy? Well the answer is it is now taking shape. President of the MRRF Professor Ian Frazer talks to Ticky."
