An announcement made on Thursday by Health Minister Tanya Plibersek reveals a plan of millions of funding to researchers in Queensland for carrying out researches into a number of diseases as well as their causes, according to a recent report.

The study at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital has already received a sum of $2.4 million out of the amount proposed. Besides, projects on the list include researches into breast cancer, oesophageal cancer and treatments for respiratory infections.

Health Minister has affirmed that there would also be project for finding ways to use blood for a trauma treatment and for children's food allergies. "I have long held a belief that Australia's innovative culture can be translated into real scientific and medical advancement, she added.
