Big ideas in #BrainCancer research have been fast-tracked by the University of Newcastle’s Mark Hughes Foundation Centre for Brain Cancer Research.

We loved hearing from Professor Simon Gregory at our International Brain Tumour Research Summit about how he and his team are transforming patient care #BrainCancer

The needs of people with brain cancer are unique, with specialised care required to help them, and their loved ones and carers, navigate the challenges of brain cancer. MHF Brain Cancer Care Coordinators provide dedicated and specific care for people with brain cancer.

With brain cancer research, we’re in it for the long haul, which is why succession planning and building the next generation of our research leaders is so important. It was so great to see so many early career researchers and students attend the 2025 International Brain Tumour Research Summit.

We are committed to delivering better outcomes for everyone impacted by #BrainCancer Read about our International Brain Tumour Research Summit and Workshop here: www.newcastle.edu.au/newsroom/fea...
