SIOP-Europe DIPG Network Meeting, Barcelona, Spain (Thursday 23rd – Friday 24th February 2012)

Clinicians and scientists interested in DIPG across Europe met recently in Barcelona to discuss collaborative efforts to develop clinical trials and biological studies in this terrible disease. Chris Jones and Katy Taylor, a PhD student in his lab focusing on DIPG, attended the meeting and presented on the progress of the DIPG Genomics Repository. There is much enthusiasm for developing this resource given the rarity of the tumour, and we are carrying out a census of DIPG samples, data and ongoing research throughout the continent in order to identify opportunities to work together to speed up progress on a multinational basis.
