Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute > Research and Clinical Studies
The Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute unites teams of experts from related, yet diverse disciplines to infuse new knowledge and perspectives into cancer care and to advance our basic, clinical, and translational science efforts. The NBTI's interdisciplinary approach holds promise for something greater than the sum of individual faculty efforts. Our teams of faculty clinicians and scientists are focused on identifying and treating brain cancers early, determining factors that contribute to their development, researching new therapies and investigational drugs, developing effective new cancer treatments and enhancing our patients' quality of life. The result of this commitment is the presence of some of the country's most esteemed clinical and basic research scientists, whose groundbreaking efforts are strengthened by the presence of Northwestern's widely recognized Stem Cell Research Lab and one of the nation's few Centers for Nanotechnology. Basic Laboratory Research
Extraordinary recent advances in cellular and molecular biology are revolutionizing our ideas of cancer and approaches to a cure. Our research team includes some of the country's most esteemed neuroscientists. This team includes:
Clinical Research
Important advances in surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy have been made in recent years due to clinical studies. The Clinical Research Program, a leader in neuro-oncology trials, seeks to develop new treatments for gliomas and other brain tumors. We are dedicated to applying the discoveries made in the laboratory to drug development and treatment options for our patients.
