The consortium collects patient tissue samples which are housed at a tissue bank at CHOP and made available to any researcher throughout the world, greatly reducing the time necessary for a pediatric brain tumor research project to get underway.<\/p><p>This donation would not have been possible without the assistance of the Children\u2019s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF), who introduced us to the consortium.
