Vasudeva Bhat is developing a blood test to help prevent metastases
Welcome back to the TBCRU. Can you remind our readers who you are and tell us a little bit about yourself? My name is Dr. Vasudeva (Vasu) Bhat, and I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Western University. I am co-supervised by Dr. Alison Allan and Dr. […]
Dr. Alison Allan, why do you walk on Mother’s Day?
We recently asked a couple of the researchers at the Translational Breast Cancer Research Unit (TBCRU) at the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), “Why do you walk on Mother’s Day for BCSC?” Our second Q & A is with Dr. Alison Allan, a breast cancer researcher and the new Director of the TBCRU in London […]
Why do you walk on Mother’s Day?
We recently asked a couple of the researchers at the Translational Breast Cancer Research Unit (TBCRU) at the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), “why do you walk on Mother’s Day for BCSC?” Our first Q & A is with Adrienne Borrie, PhD student researcher at the TBCRU in London below are her replies. 1. Who are […]
Developing a molecular imaging technique using MRI
Hello, My name is Yonathan Araya, I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Medical Biophysics at Western University. I work in the Imaging Research Laboratories at Robarts Research Institute under the supervision Dr. Timothy Scholl. Dr. Scholl’s lab focuses on developing advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for use with novel molecular imaging […]
MRI cell tracking for breast cancer
Hi, My name is Ashley Makela and I am a PhD candidate in the department of Medical Biophysics at Western University. I am working at Robarts Research Institute in Dr. Paula Foster’s lab where our main focus is to develop magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to “track” cells. My research involves using this MRI cell […]
Imaging biomarkers in treatment of breast cancer with high-dose radiation therapy
My name is Matthew Mouawad. I am a third-year PhD student in the department of Medical Biophysics at Western University working under the supervision of Drs. Stewart Gaede and Neil Gelman. With the high prevalence of breast cancers (1 in 9 women) in North America, we need to find ways to minimize the emotional and […]
Investigating how breast cancer spreads to the skeleton
Hello everyone! My name is Graciella Pio and I’m an MSc student in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Western University. I work under the supervision of Dr. Alison Allan at London Health Sciences Centre’s London Regional Cancer Program. My MSc project focuses on investigating the ways that breast cancer cells spread to […]
Learning more about breast cancer though molecular imaging
Hello! My name is Yonathan Araya and I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of Medical Biophysics at Western University. I work in the Imaging Research Laboratories at Robarts Research Institute under the supervision Dr. Timothy Scholl. Dr. Scholl’s lab focuses on developing advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for use with novel molecular imaging […]
Blocking the cancer-related signal in HER2 breast cancer
Greetings! My name is Xuguang Liu and I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of Biochemistry at Western University, working with Dr. Shawn Li. We’re focused on cancer system biology and exploring the potential applications of our research in the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer. HER2 positive breast cancer is diagnosed as overactivity of […]
