Establishment, optimization and characterization of a rat model of breast cancer induced bone pain

Abstract

providing me necessary infrastructure, funds and all the guidance and support required throughout my PhD candidature. I will always remain very thankful to Dr Vetter who chose me as a PhD student and provided me with a life-changing opportunity of studying in Australia. My PhD project work was conducted in Professor Smith's laboratory at Centre for Integrated Preclinical Drug Development (CIPDD/TetraQ) (Centre for Clinical Research, Faculty of Medicine). I have seen Professor Smith as a strict mentor, yet certainly one of the kindest, most compassionate and revered persons I have ever met. These years of my professional associations with Professor Smith have left deep positive imprints on me, and I will cherish them for the rest of my life. Without Professor Smith's solid support throughout my candidature, I would have never seen this day of my life. Words will never be enough to express my feelings, but all I can very genuinenly say is that I have experienced the Almighty God in Professor Smith. I am grateful to Dr Kuo for his persistent support in my candidature.
