Survivorship for children diagnosed with brain tumors can include physical, cognitive, and psychosocial challenges. Leandra Desjardins and Marco Bonanno will be working on a project focused on supporting skills needed for pediatric brain tumor survivors to transition from pediatric to adult care, and especially the need to tailor care to the specific needs of brain tumor survivors.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are incurable tumours that account for nearly 10% of all pediatric brain cancers.

Dr Hawkins et her team will use cutting edge technologies to investigate how the immune system interacts with brain tumour cells and brain tissue to help or hinder the growth and invasion of the cancer cells.
