In a sequel to her successful talk about childhood brain cancer therapies, Dr. Sheila Singh returns to the Hamilton Association lecture series to explain how research at the Sheila Singh Lab has helped reshape the traditional understanding of brain tumours in adults and is influencing the direction of cancer treatments.


Dr. Singh is Director of the Centre for Discovery in Cancer research at McMaster, a professor of surgery and biochemistry, a pediatric neurosurgeon and Division Head of Neurosurgery at Hamilton Health Sciences.


The lecture is free and no registration is necessary. Rm. 1A1, Ewart Angus wing, MUMC, NW corner of the children’s hospital bldg. Please see the HAALSA website, http://www.haalsa.org for directions plus parking advice and fees. Email secretary@haalsa.org for more information.
