Congratulations to Dr. Gavin Peter Dunn and Dr. Allegra A Petti for their new RO1 award titled “Unlocking the Immunobiology of Conventional Dendritic Cells to Augment T Cell Activation in Glioblastoma.”

This funding supports groundbreaking research aimed at advancing our understanding of immune responses in glioblastoma, a challenging brain cancer. Their work under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders will contribute significantly to innovative treatments and patient outcomes. 🧠

Stay tuned for updates on their exciting progress!
