Take part today Donate Now Home > About Us > Who we are > Our advisors Our Scientific and Lay Advisors In order to ensure that we fund only the highest quality research, we have formed Scientific Advisory Boards (SABs) which are made up of internationally renowned scientific and medical experts that work in different areas of cancer research and social science. The lay members of our SABs represent people personally effected by a brain tumour, ensuring that our community's interests remain at the forefront of our grant award process. The boards are responsible for the assessment and rating of applications for research funding and making recommendations to our Board of Trustees. Find out a little about them below.
