Enhancing survival and quality of life for patients with brain tumours
Despite the significant advancements in treatments over the past decade, brain tumours, particularly glioblastomas, continue to have poor prognoses.
The Lundin Family Brain Tumour Research Centre is a trailblazing institution committed to driving progress in the field of brain tumour research.
Our mission is to promote clinical innovation aimed at enhancing the survival and quality of life for patients with this illness.
Our priorities
Transformative brain tumour research
We aim to strengthen brain cancer research by providing financial support to research and clinical projects on brain tumours.
Training environment
We are committed to inspiring the next generation of clinicians and researchers and stimulating international collaborations through a post-graduate training program.
Open-access brain and spinal cord tumour database
We believe in providing the necessary research infrastructure and creating an open-access brain database for the advancement of brain tumour research.
Highlighted projects
Currently, we are dedicated to advancing two priority projects, shaping the future of treatment.
Learn more about these projects in translational research and the pioneering field of Flash radiotherapy. These exemplify the cutting-edge work undertaken at our centre.
Innovative combinations of targeted therapies
This approach uses models to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms that induce the transformation from normal to cancer cells. This helps to identify potential targets that could be used to develop a treatment.
FLASH radiotherapy
Flash radiotherapy is a cutting-edge approach that delivers a high dose of radiation in a very short amount of time, typically less than 100 milliseconds.
Ongoing clinical trials
Clinical trials, the research studies that evaluate new treatments, give volunteers a chance to receive the most advanced treatment before it's available to the general public. It's an opportunity for our patients and ensures that future generations receive the most effective and safest treatment possible. Our physicians are internationally recognized experts in the development and management of such clinical trials.
Calls
The next call for fellowships and research proposals will be announced here.
Fellows
Support brain tumour research
