My research lab focuses on using single-cell sequencing techniques to study intratumoral heterogeneity in malignant brain tumors. Intratumoral heterogeneity is the idea that individual cancer cells within a patient’s tumor are different and can respond differently to treatments. I also have an active interest in developing patient-specific models of disease where we can learn how an individual patient's tumor might respond differently than another. My ultimate goal is to further advance precision medicine approaches for malignant brain tumors, and ensure that patients are getting the right treatments for their specific tumors.
