Overview
The long term goal of the laboratory is to develop innovative therapeutics for the treatment of debilitating neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease, stroke and brain cancer.
Working hand-in-hand with our clinical colleagues and the Neuro-Oncology Research Laboratory, we will initially focus on deciphering the crosstalk between tumor cells and its microenvironment, which plays critical role in tumor progression. A better understanding of this intricate interaction holds significant promise in improving treatment outcome of brain tumor patients. To this end, integrative genomic strategies, orthotopic mouse tumor model and in vivo imaging technology are some of the approaches that we will utilize.
Ultimately, our goals are to translate our findings in the laboratory into potential therapeutics for improved and personalised treatment options.
