We received the exciting news that our associate in New Zealand, Desiree DeSpong, has been awarded a visiting fellowship for a research study at Flinders’ University in Adelaide, Australia.
Professor Neil Piller and Visiting Fellow Desiree DeSpong
It is for a pilot trial at the Department of Surgical Oncology Unit & Lymphedema Assessment Clinic. The study will be for the use of our Lymphstar / LET Instrument for breast, chest wall, and arm patients with clinically diagnosed lymphoedema secondary to breast cancer surgery. The study will commence in November and be completed by the end of 2010.
Desiree had been sending case studies to Professor Neil Piller, Department Head at the Flinders Clinic, to inform him of her success with the Lymphstar. Next, our company sponsored her attendance at the 22nd International Congress of Lymphology in Sydney, Australia last September. She met personally with him there and made an impact amongst the 360 world medical researchers.
A few months later Desiree was asked to submit a study proposal for a paid grant as a visiting fellow for a lymphedema study. They were looking for new concepts in the treatment of this painful and disfiguring condition. She submitted a proposal and won the fellowship. She attended the Australasia Lymphoedema Association Conference May 26 -29 where it was announced.
