It’s an honour to be funded by the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada! This money will support projects investigating low grade glioma detection and treatment. We are incredibly grateful to the Lewington Family. For Dale. ❤️
We’re proud to announce a new 2025 Research Grant awarded to Dr. Beharry, Associate Professor at @uoft. His project aims to help surgeons more accurately identify and treat brain tumours during surgery, improving outcomes and reducing recurrence.
