Science Paves the Way for Hope

Science is the engine behind the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. Our researchers and physicians are passionate about understanding the "how" and "why" of brain tumors. Scientists are developing new, more effective techniques for surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Research is devoted not only to providing the most effective treatment, but also to improving the quality of life for patients and their loved ones. —Darell D. Bigner, MD, PhD Director
