MSc Student, Interdisciplinary Oncology
Meredith is a Master’s student in the interdisciplinary oncology program under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Bennewith currently researching lymphoma, immunotherapy, and the tumour microenvironment. Her proposal aims to elucidate how suppressive cells inhibit the tumour-killing ability of the sugar-starved T cells, with the goal of preventing lymphoma tumour regrowth after immunotherapy. This research will lead to the development of combination treatments that not only kill lymphoma cells more robustly but also prevent cancer recurrence, ultimately leading to complete tumor clearance for patients with lymphatic cancer.
