Research Grant - Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada

Lisa Porter – 2022 Research Grant Recipient

This funding will allow us to dissect exciting data that has the potential to change the way that we are approaching treatment for one of the most aggressive forms of brain tumour, glioblastoma. We will focus not on the cancer cells themselves, which have eluted all treatment to date, but rather we will turn our focus to the supporting cells around the tumour.

Jakob Magolan – 2022 Research Grant Recipient

This generous award from the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada will support an innovative therapeutic development program underway in the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. In partnership with Prof. Sheila Singh and her team, we working to develop a new class of cancer therapies that can intercept and prevent the metastasis of cancers to the brain from other primary sites.

Ekaterina Tchistiakova and Nicolas Ploquin – 2022 Research Grant Recipients

Radiosurgery is one of the common treatment options for patients with brain metastases. It has several benefits over other treatment options including reduced side effects, it’s non-invasive nature and improved quality of life especially when administered early.

Alan Underhill – 2022 Research Grant Recipient

The funds received from the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada will allow us to build on exciting preliminary results and are critical to sustaining longer term studies aimed at evaluating clinical utility in childhood brain cancers.
