Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and most common form of malignant primary brain tumors in adults (WHO grade IV). Despite surgical and therapeutic interventions, including chemotherapy with the alkylating agent Temozolomide (TMZ) and cranial irradiation, GBM relapse is inevitable with a median survival of Citation Format: Chirayu Chokshi, David Tieu, Kevin Brown, Chitra Venugopal, Parvez Vora, Katherine Chan, Amy Tong, Maleeha Qazi, Mohini Singh, Neil Savage, Andrea Habsid, Jason Moffat, Sheila Singh.
