A comprehensive European network against brain cancer
Net4Brain (COST Action CA22103) unites 670+ research scientists across 29 countries to advance brain cancer research, improve treatments, and support patients.
Let's beat brain cancer together
Net4Brain unites Europe's leading researchers, clinicians, and institutions to accelerate breakthroughs in brain cancer treatment and care.
Through collaborative research, knowledge sharing, and innovative approaches, we are working to improve outcomes for patients and families affected by brain cancer across the continent.
Action objectives
Our strategic goals for advancing brain cancer research across Europe.
Non-Invasive Biomarkers in Brain Cancer
Developing and validating biomarkers for early detection, prognosis, and recurrence in pediatric and adult brain cancer.
Advanced Preclinical Models for Pathogenesis
A 3-tier strategy using cell culture, 3D bio-systems (organoids, bioprinting), and in vivo models to study brain cancer pathogenesis.
Single-Cell Approaches for Tumour Profiling
Advancing tumour profiling and patient stratification with single-cell technologies, focusing on gene dysregulation and glioblastoma stem cell transitions.
Multimodal Omics & a Pan-European Platform
Integrative omics approaches, mathematical models for RT optimisation, and a pan-European brain cancer database and biobank.
Clinical-Driven Advances in Radiotherapy
Developing novel radiotherapy approaches and recommendations, guided by clinical expertise to maximise patient outcomes.
Innovative Dissemination & Engagement
Novel methods to disseminate research outcomes and engage stakeholders across science, clinicians, patients, policymakers, and the public.
Leadership team
Meet the experts driving innovation in brain cancer research across the network.
