In our series: ‘Meet Our Researchers’, we highlight one of the researchers from our faculty. For this edition, we sat down with Dr. Tuhina Khan. Dr. Tuhina Khan’s journey from a small village in rural India to cutting-edge research in Belgium is as inspiring as her work. At the lab of Prof. at , she focuses on targeted therapies for glioblastoma, designing molecules that can cross the blood-brain barrier to improve treatment options for this aggressive cancer.
