  The Brain Science Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by Steven and Kathleen Haley based on a realization that little is known in the medical world about meningioma and other primary brain tumors and a desire to fast-forward research on them. The Foundation supports the work of Dr. Priscilla Brastianos, neuro-oncologist and physician scientist, and Dr. Alexandra J. Golby. Dr. Brastianos is the Director of the Brain Metastasis Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, a unique scientific and clinical program with the primary objective of accelerating scientific findings into the patient clinics. She uses the latest genomic technology and analytic tools to comprehensively characterize the genomics of brain tumors, with a focus on understanding why tumors progress and metastasize. Dr. Alexandra J. Golby, MD, is spearheading several different clinical and research efforts, with the aim of designing safer, less invasive, and more effective interventions for neurosurgery patients. She is director of image-guided neurosurgery at BWH and principal investigator of the Golby Lab-a surgical brain mapping laboratory at Harvard Medical School (HMS)-where she leads a research team focused on the application of preoperative and intraoperative imaging techniques to optimize neurosurgical care.
