Beautifully delivered summary of Manchester trials @ BNOS25: well done Gerben Borst! @TheChristieNHS @NCAlliance_NHS @Salford @OfficialUoM @BNOSofficial
The PORTRAIT Trial, led by Dr Gerben Borst, tests if #Glioblastoma treatment can begin immediately after diagnosis-before surgery and radiotherapy-using an innovative, non-invasive tech. A potential gamechanger for this aggressive brain cancer. shorturl.at/Tvgak
[3/3] Claire O'Leary’s Sample Collection Award will help collect tumour & blood samples in Phase I #glioblastoma trials (POBIG & PORTRAIT) to assess response & mechanisms of preoperative #radiotherapy or tumour treating fields. #CRUKFunded | @OfficialUoM
We identified that the #SOX2 protein oscillates every 17h in proliferative and quiescent #glioblastoma stem cells. Interestingly, the #OscoNet algorithm predicted thousands more genes to oscillate 🤯 Our paper is out: nature.com/articles/s4159…
Today we are hearing all the exciting research on brain tumours happening across Manchester.

A momentous day in neurosurgery - the long awaited debut of the “Manchester tray” on US soil. The tray contains curiosities like the Olivecrona dissector (aka Swedish), Jefferson and Cone’s retractors, Adson’s sharp hook, and of course - my beloved McDonald’s dissector! @MCCN_UK
