RESEARCH
Our projects
In our laboratory, we strategically attack cancer from multiple angles in order to find new therapies. Our principal projects include developing novel therapeutics for glioblastoma including cellular therapy, studying cell migration and invasion, designing models of brain and spine cancers, and establishing a human tissue bank. The operating room functions as an extension of our laboratory.
