Two Australian scientists are on the brink of developing a life-saving cancer treatment. But with the cost of bringing a new biotech discovery to market estimated at around $1 billion, will they make it?

Filmed over 15 years and packed with suspense, The Cancer Killers follows the scientists' journey from early human trials in Melbourne to preparations for a pivotal study at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York. As promising trial results build momentum, the scientists must convince regulators, investors and the medical establishment that their discovery can move from experimental success to clinical reality. Driven by extraordinary determination, but constrained by limited funds, their quest unfolds as a tense real-world drama of scientific intrigue and risk, and the series becomes an investigation into the business of medicine. 

As they race to take their breakthrough to market, will these two scientists be the ones to cure cancer?
