Jennifer Munson and her lab at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC will build tissue-engineered model tumors to test how fluid flow can be manipulated to improve CAR-T cell therapy for glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Munson along with collaborators at City of Hope received a $3.75 million grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders to support this research.
