The Translational Neuro-Oncology Laboratories

 What does it mean to be a part of brain cancer research? At Michigan Medicine, neurosurgery researchers have extremely rare access to the workings of the patient experience, studying the cancer and then following through with patients on the advancements - while other cancer research institutions may only have a hand in a portion of the process. Nowhere else in the world can replicate the complete exposure to all the different stages from idea to implementation. At Michigan Medicine, the researchers can take the cancer mass from the operating room to the lab to undergo cellular and molecular testing.

Complete exposure reduces the cost that would otherwise be spent just on acquiring cancer samples. That said, the researchers you see above, and their team operate on a shoestring budget. MaxYourBrain is here to help support these researchers as they proceed in their research and discover even more innovative pathways. Donating to MaxYourBrain helps provide funds directly to push innovation.
