Spatial tumour mapping-inspired Xbox Series Xs up for auction supporting cancer research

Secure an incredibly unique console, and support Cure Cancer.

Xbox ANZ, Cure Cancer, and University of Queensland’s Dr Arutha Kulasinghe have partnered to auction off spatial tumour mapping-inspired Xbox Series X consoles in support of cancer research.

Dr Kulasinghe is pictured above with the unique consoles.

Three consoles, each drawing “inspiration from Dr. Kulasinghe’s spatial tumour mapping approach developed in collaboration with Akoya Biosciences and Nanostring Technologies, a process that allows medical experts and specialists to identify cellular architecture and areas of that are resistant to treatment for the first time,” are on display at the Microsoft Experience Centre in Westfield Sydney at the same time they’re up for auction.

Dr Kulasinghe’s work in tumour mapping “can be life-changing for those who are undergoing cancer treatment,” according to a press release.

“These groundbreaking realisations of how cells organise and communicate have been captured by these images that are now featured on the Xbox Series X consoles,” said Dr Kulasinghe. “With Xbox and Cure Cancer, we’ve been able to further highlight the transformative leaps we’ve achieved in cancer research.”

At the time of writing, bids on the consoles range between $565 and $800 AUD. If you’re keen to bid, you can head here to do so. All proceeds from the auction will support “Cure Cancer to continue their remarkable work.”
