About this listen

In this episode, we visit Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital in Rome to explore the pioneering pediatric brain tumor research being led by Maria Vinci, MD. Her team focuses on high-grade pediatric brain tumors including diffuse midline gliomas, with the goal of advancing more personalized and effective therapies for children around the world. We tour three key research labs that play a central role in their work: the patient-derived model lab, the high-content imaging lab, and the Hyperion lab, which uses advanced single-cell spatial proteomics to better understand the tumor microenvironment. Together, these technologies allow Dr. Vinci’s team to investigate how these aggressive tumors develop and respond to potential treatments. This episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how leading scientists and clinicians in Rome are pushing the boundaries of pediatric neuro-oncology and working to bring new hope to families facing devastating diagnoses. This episode is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
