Translational, cell-based targeted therapy for the treatment of glioblastoma and other brain malignancies.
The Balyasnikova Lab
Our laboratory is dedicated to the advancement and development of translational, cell-based targeted therapy for the treatment of glioblastoma and other brain malignancies. We also aim to develop imaging techniques for the tracking of stem cells in the central nervous system, improving our understanding of therapeutic mechanisms. Finally, as we look toward the future of brain cancer treatment, we are committed to the training of aspiring research professionals.
