Our Story
We are determined to making thriving the norm
NanoCube Health is an award winning, early-stage Melbourne-based medical technology commercialisation company developing potentially transformational cancer diagnostic and therapeutic technology for the early detection and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
The company was founded in response to the loss of a loved one to a complex cancer type. The company’s co-founders, Dr Shawn Goussous and Lisa Milani, decided to put their skills to good use – to improve survival rates and quality of life of people with complex diseases like pancreatic cancer.

Why 'NanoCube' Health?
Our pioneering technology is being developed using nanotechnology, so at the nanoscale. To give you an idea of scale, there are 1,000,000 nanometers in one millimeter, and our technology is designed to be just 10 nanometers. We are also fascinated by the naturally super strong cubic structure of the diamond, and it sometimes feels like what we do is like solving a Rubik’s cube!
