Yesterday, former Australian of the Year Professor Richard Scolyer was honoured with a state funeral at the Sydney Opera House, after he died on 7 June from brain cancer, aged 59. The service included countless moving tributes to the pioneering pathologist credited with saving thousands of lives.
Richard Scolyer is remembered as the researcher that turned melanoma from a common death sentence into a largely curable disease. But his legacy extends beyond that. He shared his three year journey and public health battle as patient zero of an experimental immunotherapy treatment with millions of Australians.
In today's deepdive, we are going to play you a very special interview we did with Professor Richard Scolyer back in November 2024.
Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Zara Seidler Guest: Professor Richard Scolyer AO Producer: Orla Maher
