Scottish Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence
University of Glasgow cancer scientists will play a leading role in a new research centre to help find a cure for the most aggressive form of brain cancer.
The Scottish Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence is jointly funded by the charities Brain Tumour Research and Beatson Cancer Charity and will be a unique collaboration based at laboratories at the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. World-leading brain cancer experts in the centre will work to find a cure for glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive brain tumour with a devastatingly short average survival time of 12–18 months. The centre will be home to the largest group of multidisciplinary GBM researchers in the UK and will bridge the gap between promising new discoveries and patient benefit, from laboratory to bedside.
