About Brain Tumour Research - The Children, PhD - at University of Nottingham

The Centre links over 60 researchers from eight departments across the University and Nottingham University Hospital Departments conducting clinical and scientific research directed at increasing our understanding of the biological nature of childhood brain tumours and using this knowledge to optimize the health outcomes for the child and family. In a forward-looking multidisciplinary research programme linking basic science to patient-centred care we are currently testing hypotheses concerned with neurodevelopment, tumour biology, health services research linked to processes of referral at diagnosis, application of novel imaging and genetic techniques aimed at comprehensive assessment of tumour biology, optimisation of drug selection and CNS targeting, clinical trials of novel therapies, classification of specific brain injury syndromes and techniques for their limitation as well as the development and application of methods for measuring health outcomes during and after treatment as experienced by children and young people.

In May 2005, the University appointed Professor Grundy as Professor of Paediatric Neuro-Oncology, the first such chair in Europe, bringing a substantial cancer genetic translational research programme linking basic science to patient care.
