Hope for the Tasmanian Devils

Posted on: Fri 18 Nov 2022

Tasmanian Devils have been facing a serious pandemic of their own in recent years: a contagious facial cancer spreading amongst the population and killing thousands each year.

Andrew S. Flies, Senior Research Fellow in Immunology at the University of Tasmania, joins Breakfast’s Tom Mann to chat about the future of this new vaccine.
