In addition to clinical work, MacLean collaborates on brain tumor translational research involving molecular diagnostics, radiology-pathology correlation/integration, machine learning, and glioblastoma microenvironment related to immunotherapy, with groups at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as national and international consortiums. The latter include c-IMPACT-NOW methylation working group (The Consortium to Inform Molecular and Practical Approaches to CNS Tumor Taxonomy—Not Official WHO), the ReSPOND consortium (Radiomics Signatures for PrecisiON Diagnostics), the GLASS (Glioma
Longitudinal AnalySiS) consortium, and the Pathology Working Group for RANO (Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology). She also serves on the Pathology Expert Group of NRG Oncology, and just completed a tenure on the Professional Affairs Committee of the American Association of
Neuropathologists. This year, she serves as co-chair for the Molecular Pathology Special Interest Track for the Society for Neuro-Oncology.
