David Fortin – 2024 Feature Grant Recipient

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.

Adrienne Weeks – 2024 Elevation Grant Recipient

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.

Scott Bratman – 2024 Elevation Grant Recipient

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.

Federico Gaiti – 2023 Feature Grant Recipient

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.

Sheila Singh – 2023 Feature Grant Recipient

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.

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.
