Investigating mechanisms driving diffuse high-grade gliomas (HGGs) in children, including Grade III anaplastic astrocytomas and Grade IV glioblastomas
Studying unique features of pediatric HGGs, such as anatomical differences and distinct oncogenic mutations compared to adult gliomas
Identifying subgroups of pediatric HGG based on clinical features and recurrent mutations linked to chromatin regulation and developmental signaling
Developing improved disease models to study pediatric HGG subgroups and test targeted therapies
