Research
  May 19, 2020

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is proud to announce the recipients of our 2020 Studentship Research Grants, Peter Liu, and Arun Parmar. Thanks to the generosity of the Taite Boomer Foundation and Nichol Family Fund, these young men are able to conduct research into areas such as improving our understanding of metastasis and improving treatment options for GBM, and hopefully lay the groundwork for careers fighting this terrible disease.
