Brain Cancer Research
Our Vision: to accelerate the translation of laboratory discoveries into life-changing therapies that improve survival rates and quality of life for patients.

Welcome to the Sydney Brain Tumour Program

Our Brain Cancer Research
We are innovating safe and accurate methods to detect and diagnose brain tumours earlier.

Highlights
- The Sydney Brain Tumour Program presented ‘Long Read Sequencing for Cancer’ with international keynote speaker Professor Matthew Loose (UK).
- Significant contribution to the Sydney Brain Tumour Bank.
- GlioNET project to track and observe glioma patients over the entire course of their cancer journey including use of the ‘OurBrainBank’ App to track patient-reported outcomes.
- Multi-omic profiling (genes and proteins) of bloods from patients with metastatic brain cancer to track the source of the metastases.
- Tracking glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) progress through extracellular vesicles in the blood.
