Chad Carr Pediatric Brain Tumor Center

The mission of the Chad Carr Pediatric Brain Tumor Center is to improve outcomes in all high risk pediatric brain tumors.  The goal is also to expand the clinical and research capacity of the CC-PBTC, building on its solid foundation to become a center of excellence for pediatric brain cancer research.  We have broad early phase clinical trial projects that encompass all high-risk pediatric brain tumor populations.

Led by the collaborative efforts of C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, Rogel Cancer Center and more than 1,500 dedicated donors, the Chad Carr Pediatric Brain Tumor Center (CC-PBTC) was established at Michigan Medicine in 2018 to pool the diverse ideas and knowledge that can solve childhood brain cancers. The center brings together unmatched expertise from across the University of Michigan (U-M) Health departments of pediatrics, radiology, neurosurgery, radiation, oncology, genetics, and pathology and U-M schools of engineering and public health — as well as renowned international collaborators.
