Simon Rondeau-Gagné is in the early stages of developing implantable or injectable “nanoantennas” to deliver electric charges to brain tumours.
A team led by UWindsor biologist Lisa Porter has received a federal grant of more than $1 million to advance research on an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Researchers Lisa Porter and John Trant have received a $100,000 grant for a project that could lead to new therapies for aggressive cancers.
Explaining cancer to children can be difficult, but UWindsor science student Mckenzie Cervini has done it with all the flair of Dr. Seuss.
Cervini has written and illustrated a children’s book about the disease. It’s colourful — and it rhymes.
“I found there was a gap in communicating cancer in a simple way,” Cervini said of how she came up with the idea for the book she titled, The C-Word.”
“It covers the biology in layman’s terms.”
UWindsor associate professor Lisa Porter received the 2018 David Kelly Award for Community Service in support of the brain tumour community in Canada.
A new undergraduate course will educate students about the multidisciplinary cancer research happening in Windsor-Essex.
UWindsor faculty, students, and staff will join the Brain Tumour Walk on Saturday, June 9.
“Cancer Researcher for a Day” allows child cancer survivors to learn about work to find cures and better treatments.
“Nucleus: Core Labs Enabling Solutions” will create a virtual inventory of equipment housed through the community.
