Molecular Neuro-Oncology Research Unit: As mentioned in the first period reporting that we have established the Molecular Neuro-Oncology Research Unit within the Department of Pediatrics in Medical University of Vienna. The unit is currently having several national and international research activities with highly prestigious research institutions from Harvard Medical School (USA), the Amsterdam Cancer Center (the Netherlands), to Hacettepe University (Turkey). Based on these collaborations, several research activities have been initiated and in part, completed. Please see publication list. 2. Academic Career and Teaching ActivitiesI am currently serving as “Director” of the research unit, and became a Tenured Associate Professor in May 2015 at the Medical University of Vienna.

I am also involved in teaching activities at the university. So far, I organized five lectures (Journal Clubs and Thesis seminar) during grant period. 3. Professional Memberships: I also become an Associate member of the “American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy” and International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV). I have been also served as Chair, and/or a speaker in some of the meeting organized by these societies. 4.
