“Every step forward has the potential to make a difference” 💛 Researcher Ellie Lambri began pursuing a PhD after her dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Her work focuses on medulloblastoma, the most common high-grade brain tumour in children, and she hopes it will “help more children not only survive but thrive after treatment”. She is one of the researchers supported by Brain Tumour Research at our Centre of Excellence at @QMUL. Ellie says meeting patients, families and supporters who visit the lab is “incredibly motivating and reinforces the importance of the work we do every day.” “Scientific progress takes time, but every discovery brings us one step closer to more effective treatments with fewer long-term side effects,” she adds. 🔗 Donate to support research like Ellie's this Childhood Cancer Awareness month: bit.ly/46CUvPG #BrainTumourResearch #TogetherWeWillFindACure #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Collaboration. Innovation. Hope. At our 2025 Researcher Workshop more than 100 scientists, clinicians and advocates came together to share breakthroughs, debate new treatments and even take part in a Walk of Hope around York. From inspiring keynotes by Professor Michelle Monje (Stanford University) and Mr Richard Mair (University of Cambridge), to powerful discussions on genomics, clinical trials, and the role of political engagement, the event showcased the strength of our research community. The event showcased the strength and commitment of the Brain Tumour Research community. 💛 Thank you to all who attended.
