A little thread 🧵 to celebrate International Non-Binary people’s day and address some common misconceptions about being NB! 💛🤍💜🖤

Gliomas 101: Gene Changes Explained Simply 🧠: I frequently get asked to clarify what each of the genetic abnormalities are in gliomas. The key ones to remember are IDH, MGMT, TERT promoter mutation, CDKN2A, and EGFR: 1. IDH acts like a brake, slowing growth vs. wildtype's speed

Congratulations to Shawn Hervey-Jumper for being named this year's recipient of the Abhijit Guha Award from NS Tumor Section and SNO! 🎉 This award recognizes his accomplishments as a neurosurgeon-scientist and his role as a mentor in the field of neuro-oncology. #SNO2025

Today is #GBMday - a day to raise awareness, remember our loves one who died, & fight back against glioblastoma, the most common & deadliest primary brain cancer. On this day, our lab is launching a campaign to help accelerate our research & develop a cure 🩶🩶🩶

As a neurosurgeon-scientist, I've been privileged to work alongside an incredible team dedicated to advancing brain tumor care. Today, we're launching our website to share our research more openly and connect with others who share our mission. Our work focuses on liquid biopsy

On Glioblastoma Awareness Day, I’m proud to share that my research lab has been awarded the 2025 Women’s Cancer Association Research Grant for our work targeting #glioblastoma invasion. Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive brain cancer, affecting over 250,000 people

I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the Mikala Egeblad lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Sub-I season in full effect; it’s such a blessing to be engaged in neurosurgery at this level.
