Scientific Advisors

The American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) Scientific Advisory Council reviews and grades applications for post-doctoral Fellowship Awards and Translational Research Grants. The ABTA Board of Directors makes award determinations based upon the Advisors' recommendations. Council members also assist in reviewing ABTA publications and guide in the development of new research funding programs. All members of the council volunteer their services.
