The Understanding Tumour-Host Interactions (U-THI) Cluster publishes its first Cluster Newsletter!

The U-THI Cluster has published its first cluster-wide newsletter documenting the latest scientific developments, publications, project meetings and activities over the past months across U-THI Cluster projects ARTURO, GLIOMATCH, HIT-GLIO, MULTIR, SPACETIME and THRIVE.  

 

This first issue contains a section showcasing how each project supports more patient-centred cancer research, from surveys and patient advisory boards to stakeholder engagement and public initiatives. The newsletter highlights the Cluster’s interdisciplinary nature, reflecting the value of bringing together different areas of expertise and sharing knowledge to strengthen collaboration across European cancer research.

 

Download the full newsletter on our materials page to learn more about the Cluster’s activities and approaches to patient-centred research.

Follow GLIOMATCH on LinkedIn and Facebook for more information on brain tumour research and updates on our milestones towards improving the clinical outcomes of GBM and pHGG.
