How can we improve outcomes for catastrophic childhood illnesses?
Basic research is the foundation for all translational research and new clinical trials. In the arena of developmental neurobiology, we study the fundamental mechanisms of normal nervous system development and disease. When it is time for us to translate our findings into the clinic, we adhere to the highest level of scientific rigor and operate with the following questions in mind.
We work across disciplines to bring innovative new therapeutic approaches to our patients while setting the bar for scientific justification and translational relevance of each new trial.
Deciphering the pathogenesis and therapeutic vulnerabilities of pediatric high-grade glioma
Investigating the deregulation of developmental pathways in pediatric solid tumors
Interrogating the biology of pediatric brain tumors and developing preclinical models for therapeutic development
Leveraging multi-omic bulk and single-cell approaches to decipher molecular landscapes and developmental origins of medulloblastoma
Studying high risk pediatric solid tumors
