Host an event in support of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada - Do it Your Way
Personally, the grant holds great significance to me and my group. Research in this area is very challenging. Knowing that Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and its donors support and believe in this type of research inspires us to work even harder to reach our goals.
I would like to thank Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and the Dunn with Cancer fund for supporting my work on using nanoparticles and radiation to treat glioblastoma more effectively. Over the last 13 years, I have had the privilege to participate in the care of GBM patients.
This study will help my team understand the phenotypes of different types of quiescent (non-cycling) and cycling cells in various patient-derived GBM cell models and identify new targets for this disease.
Being awarded the DUNN with Cancer Brain Tumour Research Fellowship means that I can pursue high-impact research aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals facing glioblastoma, an aggressive and devastating brain cancer.
This research project, which has been 10 years in the making, is progressing very well, and will continue to do so thanks to this generous grant. Rest assured that we will continue to work tirelessly to improve the care of brain tumour patients.
In reading Allison's story, we see reflected many of our own patients and our own experiences as parents, daughters, partners, surgeons and researchers. This is a horrible cancer that robs families of time and memories.
I am grateful to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and DUNN with Cancer for funding our Elevation Research Grant. This award provides vital resources to help our team advance research on novel biomarkers for high-grade gliomas.
Thanks to the generous funding provided by the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and DUNN with Cancer, we are now poised to advance our research and delve deeper into elucidating key epigenetic factors that drive the progression of GBM and its resistance to therapies.
We are so grateful to the BTFC and DUNN with Cancer for the many levels of support they provide to the brain cancer research community. BTFC supports new ideas, innovation and transformative thinking about incredibly challenging problems like how to develop new treatments for a highly treatment-resistant brain tumour such as GBM.
Receiving the prestigious DUNN with Cancer Brain Tumour Research Fellowship is an exceptional honor and a pivotal moment in my academic and professional journey. This fellowship provides a remarkable opportunity to delve into the complexities of glioblastoma (GBM), a highly challenging and invasive form of brain cancer.
This funding has enabled us to continue the promising research on targeting pannexin channels to stop communication between cells and reduce the growth and spread of glioblastoma tumours. Thanks to this funding we can support the technicians, graduate students, and expensive supplies we need to use in the lab to carry out this research.
Glioblastoma (a fast-growing brain cancer) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults. As a devastating diagnosis with a high mortality rate and rapid loss of function and independence, it is imperative to consider factors such as symptom management, maintaining independence and preserving or improving quality of life for the duration of the patients’ life.
There are so many ways you can help make a difference in the lives of patients and families today.
