He believes that in order to do this one has to fundamentally understand these complex and challenging diseases. As such he has studied the genomics of CNS tumors and tried to use this knowledge to better therapy; authoring a number of publications that have uncovered the molecular heterogeneity of these diseases, and launching innovative clinical trials that tailor and target therapy according to the molecular makeup of these tumors.
