| About |
Continuously funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health since 1972, the Brain Tumor Research Center (BTRC) at UCSF is internationally recognized as a research and treatment center for adults and children with tumors of brain and spinal cord. The basic science laboratories of BTRC and the Michael Douglas Pediatric BTRC, in collaboration with the BTRC Clinical Neuro-Oncology Program, emphasize translational research into the biology and behavior of brain tumors- research in which scientists and health care clinicians work in partnership to translate laboratory findings into new or improved forms of clinical therapy. Many BTRC researchers are also members of UCSF's Comprehensive Cancer Center, a designated National Cancer Institute (NCI) research center.
