Research Interests

The general interests of our research laboratory are the biological and clinical implications of brain tumor heterogeneity. In particular, our laboratory analyzes glial tumor samples for cellular and genetic differences within each of: distinct pathologic subgroups, distinct molecular genetic subgroups, and groups of patients who have responded to treatment in a unique or distinct fashion. The lab is also investigating the clinical consequences of the microenvironment in malignant gliomas and its interplay with specific genetic backgrounds. Ultimately, the goal of the lab is to use the knowledge gained through these investigations to develop novel biomarkers and treatment strategies for improved clinical management of patients with malignant glioma.
