Research Interests:
We seek greater understanding of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms driving tumorigenesis and disease progression in malignant brain tumors. We currently study the capacity of cellular and cell-free nucleic acids to inform treatment choices in patients with brain tumors, mechanisms of brain tumor cell migration, and identify potentially targetable genes and pathways. Our laboratory space lies at the heart of the Stanford campus between the core campus and the medical facilities, emblematic of the translational aspects of our work.
