Narrative Description of Research

There are two major areas for my research: Understanding and controlling brain tumors; and imaging and cortical mapping techniques for improved brain tumor surgery. I direct a molecular biology brain tumor laboratory (the Black Lab) that has 6-10 members and attempts to use anti-angiogenic therapy, blockade of receptor mechanisms and better understanding of the cell cycle to stop tumor growth. It is committed to using human brain tumor tissue to try to control growth. The operating room is my other laboratory: through improved imaging, 3D reconstruction, intraoperative MRI, and cortical mapping, I lead a group that attempts to understand brain function better and do less invasive surgery.
