Lab members Jacob Gile, Kellie Fontes, and Chantal Murthy presented research results at this years event. Jacob presented a poster illustrating how measurements of tumors are done in our lab and the different ways we can use them. Kellie had a poster looking at the possible relationship between the net rates of proliferation and invasion of GBMs as estimated by our lab and the different gene expression patterns in the different tumors. Chantal presented her work on investigating whether there is a direct spatial correlation with areas of hypoxia and tumor regrowth after radiation.
