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.

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.

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 🤯

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

[Stroke IMPaCT @ImpactStroke]

Pop in this Saturday to visit our exciting engagement stalls and learn about #stroke #dementia #braintumours and #pathology!

Talk tickets are nearly sold out, but we've got so much else on offer!
