He then shifted his focus to understanding the genetics of childhood brain cancers.&nbsp;</p> <p>He pioneered the groundbreaking discovery of a novel genetic mutation that drives the pediatric brain tumour medulloblastoma, and recently published an article about this research in <em>Nature</em>. Through international collaboration, he also discovered that this mutation has implications in additional cancers, including leukemia and liver cancer.&nbsp;</p> <p>A tireless volunteer for campus leadership programs and community advocacy organizations, Kumar is the event coordinator for Childhood Cancer Survivor Canada, and director of 老司机直播鈥檚 Movember chapter. As an executive of the graduate representation committee, he initiated a survey that catalyzed the improvement of student wellness and financial supports across the Faculty of Medicine.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Thu, 07 May 2020 22:37:23 +0000 lanthierj 164461 at
