My interest focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular biology of therapeutic resistance in brain tumors and how can we utilize such knowledge to explore new molecular targeting therapy and improve patient survival. I examine what types of cellular and molecular biology systems are important for resistance in human brain tumors, and in a mouse model of brain tumors. The knowledge generated in my study has the potential to provide new therapeutic options for patients suffering from malignant brain tumors in the future and improve overall survival.
