“In my thesis work, I want to elucidate the impact of glioblastoma extracellular vesicles on the hijacking of the tumor microenvironment. By understanding this mechanism better, I hope to uncover novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers for glioblastoma. Upon graduation, I hope to enter the healthcare consulting field, where I can help companies with research plans and advocate for patients.”
