Aperçu du projet

Our brains have their own GPS – the hippocampus, a region where special neurons, called ‘place cells’, help us navigate and store memories. However, when the hippocampus is damaged, our internal map can become unreliable, affecting our memory and orientation abilities. Our goal is to unravel this complex coding system.…

Aperçu du projet

Retina-based optogenetic therapy is a promising approach to restore vision to individuals suffering from retinal degeneration. After photoreceptor degeneration, optogenetics are targeted to remaining retinal neurons that are not intrinsically light sensitive, in order to make them light-responsive. However, due to technical reasons, the nature of light responses in the…

Aperçu du projet

Shreya Gandhi is studying how oxygen-deprived areas of deadly brain tumours called glioblastoma (GBM) contribute to treatment resistance to improve treatment options and outcomes for people with this type of cancer. Glioblastoma (GBM) is a fatal brain tumour that currently has no effective curative therapies. Despite surgical removal of the…

    $45,000

Aperçu du projet

Rober Abdo is investigating molecular changes in breast cancer cells which enable them to spread to the brain. Although new treatments and earlier diagnosis have improved breast cancer outcomes, tumour cells can spread to the brain in some people, resulting in a poor prognosis. Researchers still don’t understand why this…

Aperçu du projet

Stephanie Borlase is investigating ways to improve immunotherapies to treat people whose lung cancer has spread to the brain, improving outcomes. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Canada, but immunotherapies which trigger the immune system to attack cancers have shown promise. However, when cancers spread to…
