Returning to his research after a 7-year break, Eroje’s Fellowship is entitled: “Understanding the role of the ARHGAPs in Glioblastoma cell migration using a patient-focused tumour microenvironment”. This research focuses on understanding how a specific group of proteins, known as ARHGAPs (Rho GTPase-activating proteins), influence the movement of glioblastoma cells. By identifying key mechanisms involved in cell migration, this research can contribute to better treatment strategies, improving survival rates and quality of life for patients with glioblastoma.
