“For advancing the molecular and genomic understanding of brain tumours, leading to better ways of discriminating, classifying and managing brain tumour subtypes with potential to transform the clinical care of the disease.“
Gairdner Foundation
Congratulations to Dr. Gelareh Zadeh, MD, PhD, FRCS(C), FAANS, who is the Dan Family Chair and Professor of Neurosurgery, University of Toronto on winning a 2023 Canada Gairdner Momentum Award!
Dr. Gelareh Zadeh is a neurosurgeon and senior scientist who combines her in-depth clinical knowledge of brain cancer with clinical and translational research to improve the diagnosis and management of adult brain tumours.
Dr. Zadeh’s research program applies advanced genomic and epigenomic profiling to further our understanding of the molecular regulators of brain tumours and to develop tools that can refine biomarkers of diagnosis to predict treatment responses and ultimately, improve patient outcomes.
