Dunn with Cancer - Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada

Lennart van Winden – 2023 Fellowship Recipient

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.

Silvia Penuela – 2022 Feature Grant Recipient

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.

Melanie Keats – 2022 Feature Grant Recipient

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.
