LETHBRIDGE, AB – A professor at the University of Lethbridge (U of L) is one of two Canadian researchers to earn a grant from the American Brain Tumor Association.
Dr. Nehal Thakor is a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the U of L. He has received a $50,000 grant for his research in finding a new therapeutic target for glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer.
The funding is a $50,000 US award from the association, with partial funding coming from the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada. The one-year grants support high-risk, high-reward innovative approaches that could potentially change existing diagnostic or treatment standards.
Thakor said he is “extremely grateful to receive this funding.”
