In addition, each of our physicians is actively involved in translational research aimed at developing new therapies and quickly bringing them to the clinical setting. Our current research interests focus on developing new brain tumor models, drug delivery to tumors of the central nervous system, anti-angiogenesis therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, and radiotherapy of brain tumors.

We invite you to contact us to further discuss your individual needs and your eligibility for our clinical trials. Our goal is to translate the research which we are developing today into the therapies of tomorrow.
