  Identifying the molecular signature of glioblastoma that allows it to hide and evade detection from immune cells

  Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of brain cancer. It can affect people at any age and has one of the worst survival rates of all cancers. This small project aims to understand how glioblastoma avoids detection by the immune system. The team will identify proteins on the surface of glioblastoma cells that could be targeted with immunotherapies, which are treatments designed to help the immune system detect and destroy abnormal cells.
