I did my PhD from University of Dundee and I am excited to return to the city of Jam-Jute-Journalism again. I am currently funded by the\u00a0Ninewells Cancer Campaign which allowed me to start my independent work\u00a0and\u00a0recruit a PhD student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding allows me to make significant inroads into understanding the molecular mechanisms of stage 4 brain cancer. Even after surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, patients with stage 4 brain cancer has a median survival of less than 2 years from initial diagnosis. My focus is to develop novel therapeutic and early detection biomarkers for brain cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding from NCC has allowed me to setup collaborations with chemists in the USA, neurosurgeons at CRUK Edinburgh and publish\u00a0collaborative\u00a0research\u00a0work and 2 review articles over the last year. I have also been invited to submit fellowship applications for UKRI Future Leaders,\u00a0CRUK Career Development, and AMS Springboard\u00a0Awards. NCC funding has helped me generate critical preliminary data\u00a0which can potentially\u00a0propel my fellowship applications into the final stages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My papers with acknowledgements to NCC&nbsp;funds:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Van, A-A.N., Kunkel, M.T.,&nbsp;Baffi, T.R.,&nbsp;Lorden, G.,&nbsp;Antal, C.E.,&nbsp;<strong>Banerjee, S.,<\/strong>&nbsp;Newton, A.C*.
