Introducing the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence
Scotland's first-ever Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence is set to revolutionise the way we discover and test new treatments for brain tumours. This ground-breaking initiative brings together world-leading researchers from The University of Glasgow and The University of Edinburgh, united in their mission to find a breakthrough treatment.
Why We Need This Centre
Brain tumours are one of the most challenging cancers to treat. Despite extensive research, the cause of brain tumours remains unknown, and over 1,000 people in Scotland are diagnosed with a brain tumour every year.
The new research centre will provide the innovation, expertise, and specialist skills needed to test new treatments for brain tumours like never before. By combining the latest discovery research with clinical testing, this centre aims to develop more effective and kinder treatment options for people with brain tumours.
How You Can Help
With less than 1% of government funding allocated to brain tumour research, Beatson Cancer Charity and Brain Tumour Research are joining forces to fund this vital 5-year initiative, which will cost approximately £2.3 million.
We need your support to make this vision a reality. Your donation could be the key to unlocking a breakthrough in brain tumour treatment.

Meet the Professors
Led by Professors Anthony Chalmers and Steven Pollard, teams of scientists and PhD students at The University of Glasgow and The University of Edinburgh will focus on glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumours. Their goal is to translate the latest research discoveries into clinical trials that could lead to new, life-saving treatments.
Help Us Change the Story for Scotland
Please consider donating today. Together, we can bring hope to those affected by this devastating disease and make a lasting impact on the future of brain tumour research.
