Stanford Brain Metastases Consortium
A multidisciplinary, collaborative, and driven approach to improving outcomes for patients with brain metastases.
The Stanford Brain Metastases Consortium is a unique partnership between scientists, physicians and surgeons from across the Stanford community, that brings together experts in research and clinical care of brain metastases. Through more focused and collaborative efforts, our goal is to increase the number of available clinical trials and collaborative publications, and to enhance our patients' experience through a team-based approach to care.

Research
The Brain Metastases Consortium facilitates collaborative research between the many exceptional researchers and clinicians at Stanford University. These projects involve specialists from different departments, whose combined efforts can exponentially advance our understanding of, and capacity to treat, metastatic brain tumors. Interests include cancer biology, radiation oncology, neuroscience, immunology, medical oncology, neurosurgery, physics, bio-engineering, neuro oncology, and population science, among others.

Meetings
Research Speed-Dating Symposium
On March 18, 2022, the BMC held a speed dating event which brought our experts together to collaborate on research goals. Stanford students, trainees, staff, and faculty attended. We announced the details of a new seed grant program of $50,000 to fund new brain mets collaborations, made possible by our recently funded U54 program grant.
