Dr Tyler Miller was one of our Future Leaders. Now a Junior Fellow, he manages a team of 12 at his own lab.

Here he explains how this team is trying to figure out how to prevent our own immune cells from suppressing our immune system. Instead, he aims to turn part of a brain tumour's immune system - myeloid cells - into an effective army of immune agents that can both kill tumour cells and attract new recruits, like the T-cells Mat mentioned, to target the tumour.

Welcome to a new series of very short episodes of The Brain Tumour Charity podcast in which you’ll get to know key people in the brain tumour community.

The first part of the series is called Meet The Researcher and it's based on a webinar we hosted in 2025 that was all about immunology.

We’re kicking it off by introducing you to someone who’s trying to figure out how our body’s natural defence mechanisms can help fight the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma.

You can find out more about our Future Leaders programme and Dr Mat Clement's work here. We wish him the best of luck with the incredible work he's doing.

At a reception in Westminster on 15th December, The Brain Tumour Charity released its report into the cost of a brain tumour diagnosis. The report makes the economic case for a National Brain Tumour Strategy to minimise these costs - both to the individual and to society. We unpick this report with Marcus Loney-Evans, Head of Policy and Campaigns at The Charity.

You can read the full report here.
