“We are proud to be partnering with the National Brain Tumor Society on our fifth CERN Ependymoma Fellow. We have enjoyed a strong partnership with CERN in helping to advance young researchers working on ependymoma since losing our 18-year-old son Connor to this disease in 2013. We congratulate Siri and wish her all the best over the next two years.”

– Liz Dawes OAM, Connor’s mum, RCD Foundation Founder & CEO
