PROFESSOR VASSO APOSTOLOPOULOS
Pro Vice-Chancellor, Research Partnerships
Group Leader – Immunology and Translational Research
Professor Vasso Apostolopoulos is a world-renowned
researcher who has been recognised with over 100 awards.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Vasso and her
team at VU are focusing on developing a vaccine to treat
the virus.
Her areas of expertise include immunology, x-ray
crystallography, medicinal chemistry, cellular biology and
molecular biology. Professor Apostolopoulos was the first
in the world to develop the concept of immunotherapy for
cancer in the early 1990s. It is now used by hundreds of
labs around the world to boost specific immune cells and
program them to kill cancer cells.
Using immunotherapy, Professor Apostolopoulos has
developed vaccines for breast cancer and ovarian
cancer. Committed to the wide-ranging benefits of
immunotherapy, Professor Apostolopoulos has applied
this approach to other diseases including a vaccine for
multiple sclerosis. She is also working on a vaccine for
type 1 diabetes.

such as a uniform, for some courses. These costs are separate

and stationery each year, plus any compulsory equipment or
uniforms.
Other possible study costs include:
◆ travel to work placements
◆ graduation ceremony costs
◆ library expenses (printing/scanning/photocopying).
Living Costs

to obtain a student visa. Victoria University can arrange
your OSHC for you, which gives you extra benefits over any
policy that you can purchase directly. If you would like
us to organise cover for you, it will be purchased through
Medibank, our preferred supplier. Medibank exclusively offers
Comprehensive OSHC to their education partners, and cannot
be purchased through other channels. It meets the student
visa requirements for all course types and provides a range
of added value services that cannot be purchased separately,

require academic results that are higher than
