Hi there! For the coming weeks, our blog will be dedicated to our Young SIOP Award winners!
Please meet Anirban Das, YI from Canada, in their own words.
I am a formally-trained paediatric neuro-oncologist and cancer geneticist working as a staff physician at SickKids, and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. My over-arching research focus is to unearth the germline underpinnings of deadly brain tumors in children and young adults and translate these discoveries to improve diagnostics and clinical care for these young patients globally. My current work is specifically focussed on comprehensively deciphering the immuno-biology of CNS cancers that arise from DNA replication-repair deficiency. I co-lead the International RRD Consortium (www.replicationrepair.ca) with Prof. Dr. Uri Tabori and consults on patients globally including from low and low-middle income countries, to enable evidence-based care for these patients. I am also currently involved with multiple international consortia, cancer predisposition committees and immuno-oncology working groups to develop clinical diagnostics, workflows and precision-oncology trials focussing on novel correlative biomarker analyses for these patients and their cancers.
