Honoured to present at #SNO2023 one of the projects from my neurosurgical academic foundation programme on the @LeedsHospitals 10-year experience of Gamma Knife for patients with cerebral metastases.

An exciting programme and beautiful location by @NeuroOnc

[Christopher Yusuf Akhunbay-Fudge @CA_Fudge]

Honoured to present our work at #SNO2023 in beautiful Vancouver. It's been a fantastic morning with brilliant science. Looking forward to learning more and networking over the next few days. @SCBT_Research @CritchleyGroup @LeedsNeuro @LDShospcharity @NeuroOnc

[Leeds Hospitals Charity @LDShospcharity]

During Brain Tumour Awareness Week, we want to acknowledge your donations that helped fund brain cancer research at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

In 2021, we granted £200,000 to Christopher Fudge's research on glioma cells and tumour recurrence after surgery.

[Christopher Yusuf Akhunbay-Fudge @CA_Fudge]

Advances in brain cancer research are happening due to organisations such as @LDShospcharity who have been instrumental in supporting my work. Huge thanks to them, my other funders (@RCSnews) and my research team @SCBT_Research @LeedsNeuro @CritchleyGroup. Paper to follow soon!

[Ryan Mathew @LeedsNeuro]

This is an important partnership. Bringing together teams with different skills. Already generating collaborations - new local delivery technologies & with @FoundationTessa Novel Therapeutics Accelerator. Working together is key.

[Leeds Teaching Hospitals @LeedsHospitals]

Watch our new video where Honorary Consultant Neurosurgeon and star of BBC Two's Saving Lives in Leeds @LeedsNeuro talks about how he and his colleagues are using immersive technologies, like #VR, to enhance patient engagement and rehabilitation. https://t.co/7hm3hiacsm

[Ryan Mathew @LeedsNeuro]

I’ve got this excited feeling after @TessaJ_Academy Summit today…

‘When the prognosis is so dismal, the appetite for risk is higher’

Let’s disrupt. With a clear plan to deliver.

Thank you @willquince @wesstreeting @jamesosh

[Ryan Mathew @LeedsNeuro]

Delighted to be invited to speak. Please come along and ask me hard questions about our research - makes us think differently, check our direction of travel and gives us (even more) motivation to do better. All good things!

[Lucy Stead @LucyFStead]

Don't forget that the Leeds neuropathology tissue bank is open to all researchers!

[Stem Cell and Brain Tumours Research Group @SCBT_Research]

Brilliant work Chris representing @SCBT_Research !

[Christopher Yusuf Akhunbay-Fudge @CA_Fudge]

Excited to have presented our work on #Glioblastoma at the #Organoids #LabOnAChip 2023 Meeting, held by @PhysicsNews. Was a great experience speaking to the #physics community - collaborative #MDT #science is the future! @SCBT_Research @LeedsNeuro @CritchleyGroup @LDShospcharity

[Ryan Mathew @LeedsNeuro]

So good and promising for brain tumour patients to see our future neurosurgeons doing such fantastic, high quality translational lab science @SCBT_Research @LIMRLeeds @LeedsMedHealth @LeedsHospitals

Well done @CA_Fudge Keep it up!

[Stem Cell and Brain Tumours Research Group @SCBT_Research]

SCBT had a glorious evening celebrating the festivities together last week. Another fantastic year finished! 🎄🎉
