Great job Amir! Congrats! 👏
I'm honored to have won the oral presentation award in brain health research day (BHRD) @uOttawa . Thanks to @JahaniArezu for her guidance and support.
Fantastic talk by @AHMansourabadi, our lab’s postdoctoral fellow, on ‘OSMR–CLIC1 crosstalk drives key oncogenic pathways in glioblastoma’!

We were honoured to host Dr. Sheila Singh, Surgeon-Scientist from @McMasterU, as a keynote speaker at #BHRD2025 at @OttawaCmm. She delivered an incredible talk on ‘Targeting Clonal Heterogeneity in Treatment-Refractory Glioblastoma with Novel and Empiric Immunotherapies.’

Welcome to #BHRD, 2025!
Brain health research day (BHRD) is here! This year’s BHRD will take place on Friday, May 16th, at Roger Guindon Hall (RGN) from 9 a.m. to 18 p.m. Since 2009 @uOttawaMed has hosted BHRD annually to bring together our research community. Read more: uottawa.ca/en/brain/event…

This is fantastic as we need more options for newly diagnosed patients, and we definitely need to think outside the box. Great work @AshishHShah4 and @UofMiami #BTSM
Thrilled that we are enrolling for STARLITE phase 1 trial for newly diag. unresectable GBM. We will combine FDA-approved antiretroviral drugs +Laser ablation+SOC. The trial leverages the anticancer effects of ART to target treatment resistant GBM stem cell niche. NCT06428045

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to @uOttawaBMRI yesterday to give a talk in the Neuroscience Seminar Series & the many stimulating discussions with the dynamic faculty and students. Huge thank you to my fabulous host @JahaniArezu! 🙏
I had the opportunity to present our latest findings on the OSMR-CLIC1 crosstalk in glioblastoma at the prestigious @BanffSNCC , alongside prominent PIs and researchers worldwide. Special thanks to my Pi, @JahaniArezu , @arezujahanilab for her unwavering supports.
Happy Nowruz from the lab! Wishing everyone a wonderful season and a beautiful spring. Happy New Year to all who celebrate. 🌷🌷🌷
