About GLIOTRAIN
An estimated 240,000 cases of brain and nervous system tumours are diagnosed every year, worldwide and Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and aggressive brain tumour. New treatment options and effective precision medicine therapies are urgently required. GLIOTRAIN is a multi-sectoral industry-academia collaboration, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN initiative, that will work to identify novel strategies to treat GBM as well as investigating resistance mechanisms in this devastating disease.
