Host an event in support of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada - Do it Your Way
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.
Being awarded a Brain Tumour Research Studentship means opportunity. I am deeply honoured to be holding this award, and for this, I extend my deepest gratitude to the Taite Boomer Memorial Brain Tumour Foundation, enabling young researchers like me to strengthen the progression of research through the joint passion and generosity of this community
I am sincerely grateful to Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and to the St. George Royal Canadian Legion whose generosity makes this experience possible. Their support empowers students to explore their potential and contribute meaningfully to the lives of patients and families.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a devastating brain tumour with limited treatment options. This project explores the role of the glymphatic system, the brain's waste removal and immune cell transport network, in GBM progression.
Through their remarkable generosity, the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada has enabled our interdisciplinary research group to develop artificial intelligence technologies to help discover new therapies against recurrent glioblastoma.
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.
I am thrilled and grateful to receive The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada Mackenzie Rigg Brain Tumour Research Grant. These funds will launch an ambitious project in a completely new area of glioblastoma research, studying how age-related changes in the blood system fuel tumour growth.
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.
Being awarded a Brain Tumour Research Studentship means the chance to pursue potentially lifesaving research. I have been searching for an area of study in which to pursue my own intellectual curiosity and also the potential to positively impact patient outcomes.
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.
There are so many ways you can help make a difference in the lives of patients and families today.
