Smarter Science, Stronger Outcomes

M3 Approach

For decades, one of the most significant obstacles to curing pediatric brain tumors has been fragmentation—research happening in isolation, data trapped in silos, and a lack of unified strategy. These diseases are too complex and funding far too limited for stopgap solutions.

At CBTN, we realized it’s time to change the model. CBTN is set up as a research study that follows patients from diagnosis and tracks their progression throughout the treatment journey. This equips us to lead the field with its M3 Approach, a bold, integrated scientific strategy designed to accelerate discovery and bring forward smarter, safer, and more effective treatments for children faster.

The New
Gold Standard in Research

Multimodal

Integrating specimens and data from imaging, pathology, genomics, and more to build a fuller picture of each tumor from diagnosis, across a patient’s journey, and across different treating hospitals.

Multiomic

Analyzing multiple biological layers, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, to understand tumors at their most intricate levels.

Multidisciplinary

Uniting experts across scientific, clinical, and technological fields and institutions to work as one, not in parallel.
