Iyad Alnahhas, MD. Assistant Professor in the Divison of Neuro-Oncology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Areas of expertise include the diagnosis and management of patients with primary central nervous system tumors (including gliomas and central nervous system lymphoma), metastatic cancer to the brain, leptomeningeal disease and neurological complications of cancer and cancer treatments. I am a clinician-scientist and my focus is in translational research; that is translating cutting edge science into the clinic and running clinical trials. My research focus is in brain tumor genomics, i.e. mutations and other genetic changes that lead to brain tumor growth. My research and clinical practice are built around the patients and their caregivers in an attempt to improve patient outcomes and focus on their well-being and quality of life.
