We are thrilled to announce that our Doc­tor­al Researcher, Manon Chédev­ille, has been award­ed a pres­ti­gious three-year iCAN­DOC grant to con­duct ground­break­ing research on the LUMINA project (Long-term Under­stand­ing of Mech­a­nisms Involved in Neu­rocog­ni­tive Alter­ations fol­low­ing breast can­cer). This project aims to deep­en our under­stand­ing of the neu­rocog­ni­tive changes expe­ri­enced by breast can­cer sur­vivors, con­tribut­ing valu­able insights to the field of pre­ci­sion can­cer medicine.
