2023 Fellowship Recipient

Project Title: “Medulloblastoma plasma membrane proteomics to inform optimal immunotherapy design”


“The ability for cancers to grow rapidly is in part due to the activation of certain proteins exposed on the membrane of cancer cells. The goal of immunotherapy is to target cells exposing these proteins while sparing normal, healthy cells in the human body.”

STUDENTSHIP UPDATE

Martin Profant

2024 Studentship Recipient

Project: “Investigating the Meningeal Immune Landscape in Patients with GBM”

This summer I spent time searching the literature to become familiar with the meningeal immune system and appraising the current state knowledge in this field. I also began writing detailed protocols for collecting human dura (meninge) and matched tumour tissue from GBM patients undergoing neurosurgical resection of their tumour. These protocols required extensive literature searches and coordinating various research teams.
