Current Research and Scholarly Interests
My laboratory studies the biology of glioblastoma, the most common and lethal form of primary brain cancer in adults. With the hope of improving outcomes for patients with brain tumors, we investigate new forms of therapy to determine their efficacy in pre-clinical models. We also analyze scans of patients with brain tumors in order to understand imaging features of tumor aggressiveness and response to therapy.
My clinical research focuses on improving delivery of chemotherapy to brain tumors, particularly through the use of alternating electrical fields or tumor treating fields (TTFields).
