The Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence at the University of Plymouth is a hub for world-leading research into low-grade tumours including low-grade glioma, meningioma, and schwannoma. Renewed funding from the charity Brain Tumour Research will enable scientists to deepen their understanding of how these tumours develop and translate that knowledge into life-changing therapies.

With a new $2.3 million, four-year grant from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, part of the National Institutes of Health, researchers at Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC are developing tools and techniques for gathering high-quality brain function data during during parent-child interactions.
