Congratulations to Mai for successfully defended her PhD thesis today, ‘Developing a biomaterial model of the glioblastoma perivascular niche to investigate the effects of angiocrine signals on disease progression.’ Mai has led some exceptional programs in our group to reimagine how tissue engineering platforms can be generated and used to study progression and therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma, the most common and lethal form of primary brain cancer. Mai’s contributions fundamentally shifted our research program in GBM and we are so proud of all her work! She will be moving to a fantastic postdoc with Dr. Chris Chen in the Biological Design Center at Boston University and we will miss her very much! Congratulations Dr. Ngo!
