Brain tumors take more young lives than any other disease in the U.S. and many other countries, yet progress has remained too slow for decades. CBTN was created to change that. Since 2011, we’ve built the world’s largest open-access ecosystem of pediatric brain tumor data, tools, and expertise, removing barriers and accelerating the search for better treatments and cures.
CBTN empowers science that puts children first through a vast biobank of high-quality biospecimens paired with rich clinical and molecular data tracked over a patient’s journey. Our cloud-based platforms, advanced tools, and AI capabilities enable researchers to uncover hidden patterns, generate stronger predictions, and drive faster insights. And we make these rich resources available at no cost to all nonprofit researchers.
