Brain Tumour Research is a British medical research charity that funds scientific investigation into brain tumours and campaigns for increased national investment in the field.
The organisation supports a network of specialists working at dedicated Centres of Excellence across the United Kingdom, focusing on sustainable, long-term research programmes. Beyond direct funding, the charity works to influence government policy and encourage larger cancer research bodies to allocate greater resources to brain tumour studies, an area that has historically received a smaller proportion of research funding compared to other cancers. Its dual approach combines practical support for laboratory work with broader advocacy aimed at shifting priorities within the UK’s medical research landscape.
Brain Tumour Research features in an Adventure Diaries conversation with Ian Finch, who walked 1,200 miles along the Cherokee Trail of Tears.
