Michelle E. Howard, PhD, DABR, assistant professor in the University of Iowa Department of Radiation Oncology, has been awarded a $50,000 Aiming For A Cure Foundation Grant through Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. The award will support Howard’s project, “Exploiting Differential Redox Capacity to Develop Precision Therapies for pediatric High-Grade Gliomas.” The research will explore differences in redox capacity—the ability of cells to manage oxidation and reduction processes—as a potential avenue for developing precision treatments for these pediatric brain tumors. The two-year grant period begins November 1, 2026, and runs through October 31, 2028. Congratulations to Howard on this award supporting her pediatric cancer research.
