Meet CERN Members

The CERN Foundation is comprised of a dedicated group of scientists and adult and pediatric neuro-oncologists working to find new treatments for ependymoma, a type of brain tumor.


About CERN

The CERN Foundation has one ultimate goal – curing ependymoma. We choose CERN Foundation members both for their scholarly excellence and their commitment to cooperatively working to cure ependymoma. Together, CERN Members collaborate by sharing research findings, responses to new treatment regimens and other new developments in a comprehensive effort against this brain cancer.

Through our team members’ collaboration, and work with our external and scientific advisory boards, the CERN Foundation comes closer to a cure every day. Our efforts are only made possible by another group dedicated to fighting ependymoma – our supporters. Their generous donations fund 100 percent of the CERN Foundation’s work.
