Children's Brain Tumor Project Lab

A blow to pediatric brain cancer research: The @nytimes reports the NIH will end funding for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, halting critical clinical trials for children with DIPG, ependymoma & other lethal tumors. childrensbraintumorproject.org/2025/08/29/nyt…

@JonahFoundation @PBTF @PBTC_Research @DanaFarber @NIH What a powerful and productive weekend. We were grateful for participate, and our PIs returned to the lab with GREAT enthusiasm to continue down the path of decoding these rare brain tumors and saving the lives of more children. Thank you, especially, for sharing Johah with us.

The Jonah Finn Foundation is very excited for the start of day 1 of this AT/RT ETMR Research forum. Here alongside some of the best children’s cancer research minds in the world. Let’s make a difference!!! @PBTF @PBTC_Research @DanaFarber @CBTP_Lab @NIH
