Every day the body automatically protects cells by repairing the damaged DNA through a process called DNA Damage Response (DDR). Research indicates that disrupted DDR networks are possibly an ‘Achilles’ heel’ for tumors, leaving them vulnerable to a new group of treatments currently being developed. Our latest installment of #Informedin30 breaks down the concepts, key terms, and questions regarding DDR and brain tumors with the help of leading experts in the field.

Watch this 30-minute segment about understanding DDR and NBTS’ flagship research initiative, the DDR Consortium with Ranjit Bindra, M.D., PhD, Yale Cancer Center and Kirk Tanner, Ph.D., National Brain Tumor Society.
