Abstract
The Children’s Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium (CBTTC) is a collaborative, multi-institutional research program dedicated to the study and treatment of childhood brain tumors. The CBTTC supports the research of new prognostic biomarkers and therapies for children with pediatric brain tumors. As part of this research effort, the CBTTC has developed a network of informatics and data applications which allow researchers from across the world to work together to discover cures. “Innovation through collaboration” is made possible by the CBTTC’s state-of-the-art biorepository as well as expertise of leaders in the field of biomedicine.
Mission
The mission of the CBTTC is to find cures and improve treatments for children diagnosed with brain tumors. To achieve this mission, the CBTTC collects high-quality brain tumor biospecimens and associated clinical data to facilitate the genomic analysis of biospecimens. Cell lines are developed and transplantable tumor models are then created from biopsy specimens. These models allow researchers to share their findings with other CBTTC member institutions and the world-wide scientific community.
Consortium History
The Consortium began in 1988
Structure & Governance
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia oversees the consortium
Financing
The CBTTC is completely funded by donor support
Intellectual Property
CBTTC provides free and open access data to the public
Data Sharing
Open-source data sharing, pooling of biospecimens, and real-time global research collaboration capabilities fast track and boost bench-to-bedside innovations in the field of pediatric brain cancer.
