Rainer Glass is a tenured Professor for Neurosurgical Research at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany. His research-focus is on neurooncology and in particular he investigates the interaction of brain tumour cells with the microenvironment. Currently he investigates new targets for antiangiogenesis in glioblastomas (GBM) and has contributed seminal work on the interaction of microglia with GBM. Furthermore, he has shown that neural stem cells induce GBM cell-death in the young brain by releasing endocannabinnoids.
