New Research Alert! 🧠💻 1/3 Can AI map the #glioblastoma immune environment without a biopsy? Our new PRECISE-GBM study in @EditorNeuro says YES. We’ve developed a radiogenomic pipeline to non-invasively predict macrophage M0 signatures using standard pre-operative MRI:

This study shows that alarmingly surgical delay significantly worsens outcomes in patients with chronic subdural haematomas. Older age, antiplatelet therapy, milder neurological presentation and low frailty scores were key contributors to delay. jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/2… @lavrador_jose @KingsNeuro

Very happy to finally see this work published, where we investigate the role of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) in the survival of a cohort of GBM patients. Thank you @lavrador_jose for the support and invaluable guidance. @KingsNeuro @EditorNeuro academic.oup.com/noa/article…
