Testing centre to shine light on sun safe promises

Technologies and products that promise to improve sun protection will be put to the test at a new research centre being established in Brisbane by QUT in partnership with clinical trial company Q-Pharm. Funded by an Advance Queensland Fellowship awarded to QUT’s Dr Elke Hacker, the Centre for Testing New Technology will analyse websites, apps, devices and wearables used by people in the prevention, detection and management of cancer to ensure they are safe and live up to their promises.
