About NOB
The Neuro-Oncology Branch is a trans-institute program of
the National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Neurologic
Dieseases and Stroke of the National Institutes of Health.
The aim of this branch is to develop an intergrated clinical,
translational and basic research program for the purpose of
developing novel experimental therapeutics for children and
adults with tumors of the central nervous system.
Laboratory
Research
The overall goal of the Neuro-Oncology Laboratory is to develop
novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of gliomas
through an understanding, exploitation, and eventual clinical
translation of the principles underlying the molecular and
genetic pathogenesis of these tumors.
Clinical Trials
The Neuro-Oncology Branch emphasizes "state of the art"
treatment of clinical protocols for patients with brain and
spinal cord tumors.
Patient
Referrals
Children, teenagers and adults with newly diagnosed or recurrent
primary or metastatic tumors of the central nervous system
are potential candidates for referral to the Neuro-Oncology
Branch of the National Institutes of Health.
Fellowship
Opportunities
The goal of this training program is to prepare neurosurgeons,
radiation therapists, medical and pediatric oncologists, and
neurologists for academic careers in neuro-oncology.
