Our group along with City of Hope awarded Collaborative R01
Working with Dr. Christine Brown and Dr. Russell Rockne as Co-PIs, we have been awarded a five year multi-million dollar grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to examine how we can leverage interstitial fluid flow to better predict and guide CAR T cell therapy in glioblastoma. Using an in vitro-in vivo-in silico approach that spans our expertise, we will determine both underlying mechanisms for flow based cell delivery and test clinically rele
Dr. Munson named Emerging Leader in Brain Cancer Research
Dr. Munson was recently named an Emerging Leader in Brain Cancer Resarch by the Ivy Foundation. This award comes with $500,000 to move her work towards a more clinical application so that patients can see new treatments. She will be combining her in vitro tissue engineered models that can be developed in a patient-specific manner with a novel target against brain cancer progression that specifically acts in regions of heightened fluid flow. Dr. Munson will lead her team which
Jenny featured on podcast: Within Good Reason
Dr. Munson was interviewed about her work on fluid flow in the brain on the podcast Within Good Reason in their episode entitled "Gut Feelings". She talks about her education in Southern Louisiana and how it inspired her to study fluid movement in the brain. Check out the full episode here: Within Good Reason
