The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) is providing over $1 million in funding to four Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 researchers who are investigating different aspects of breast cancer including testing, metastasis and the immune system.
Tomas Babak (Biology) has received $446,575 over three years. Dr. Babak is working on uncovering the causes of breast cancer that act by disrupting gene regulation and using this information to develop a diagnostic test. This will help guide a therapeutic course of action.

Peter Greer (Pathology and Molecular Medicine) has received $450,000 over three years. Dr. Greer카지노 게임 컬렉션s research explores interactions between cancer cells and the immune system. He is working to coax the immune system back into action and stimulate cancer immunity against invading cancer cells using oncolytic viruses.
Two trainees in Andrew Craig카지노 게임 컬렉션s lab (Cancer Biology & Genetics) also received fellowship awards after their research projects were selected as two of the top research projects in Ontario. Tomas Baldassarre received a doctoral fellowship worth $35,000 and Binbing (Erica) Ling earned a post-doctoral fellowship valued at $45,000.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s not easy to earn these fellowships as we are competing against students from across Ontario,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Baldassarre. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This funding takes the financial burden off of us and allows us to concentrate on our research.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Mr. Baldassarre is focusing on the driving forces behind breast cancer metastasis and to develop better therapies against this deadly stage of the disease. His research has identified a protein called endophilin that promotes breast cancer metastasis, and he will attempt to target this pathway to provide better treatment options.
Dr. Ling is working to develop antibodies that block the key components that drive breast cancer progression and metastasis leading to the development of more effective and selective therapies to treat the most aggressive forms of breast cancer.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been researching breast cancer since 2007 after I had a friend go through it,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Ling. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This award recognizes my work and allows me to focus on moving my research forward.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Supervisor Andrew Craig is understandably proud of his trainees and the opportunities the funding provides.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Portions of the students카지노 게임 컬렉션 stipend can now be redirected towards research now that Erica and Tomas have earned these fellowships. We can leverage the new funds into more vibrant research projects,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Craig. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Winning these awards is an incredible honour. It shows our overarching research program is moving in the right direction to stop breast cancer in its tracks.카지노 게임 컬렉션
