He proved his love for Ancient Greek History

The oncologist of Greek descent Paul Eliadis proved his love for ancient Greek History by donating 1 million dollars in order to create the seat of ancient Greek history at the University of Queensland. The University of Queensland is the only state university that offers courses in history, culture and literature of ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.

«Knowledge is the root of freedom and democracy» says Dr. Eliadis. He is also the proud owner of the Eliadis Paul Collection, an impressive collection of paintings of top Australian and Aboriginal artists. He donate a part of this collection to the Public Gallery of Queensland.

Dr Eliadis describes himself as an Australian with Greek origin and notes that besides the fact that the parents and grandparents of Greek immigrants were uneducated, they made sure that their children and grandchildren became scientists.

Dr Eliadis is a Clinical Haematologist and Medical Oncologist with particular interests in the management of malignant disease and stem cell transplantation. These include malignant Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, acute and chronic leukaemias, colorectal cancers, other malignancies of the gastro-intestinal tract, breast cancer, lung cancer, sarcomas, prostrate cancer, malignant tumours of the central nervous system and malignancies of the genitor-urinary tract.

He works closely with radiation oncologists in managing patients with malignant disease who require concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. These include patients with cancer of the head and neck, oesophagus and rectum. Over the last 20 years, Dr Eliadis has gained vast experience in the management of both haematological and non-haematological malignant disease. He is a foundation director of Haematology and Oncology Clinics of Australia. In 1988, he with Dr Ian Bunce and Dr Trevor Olsen established The Wesley Clinic for Haematology and Oncology.

Since then, this clinic has developed into the largest and most progressive provider of haematology and oncology day services in Australia. Dr Eliadis is committed to ensuring patients with malignant disease receive the highest quality treatment and care within the day hospital setting of HOCA.
