Gliomas Outcomes Project
Contribute to database of outcomes for patients who undergo surgery for glioma to better understand the relationship of practices in the care of these patients on clinical outcomes. Key objectives of the project are to identify opportunities to improve quality of care for patients with glioma, describe diagnostic and treatment strategies and patient outcomes, provide physicians with data to evaluate and improve their practices, publish objective data on temporal trends and regional differences in the care of patients with glioma, and develop hypotheses for future clinical trials.
Inflammation and immunity in stroke: Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the US, but therapeutic options remain limited. We investigate novel immune and inflammatory mechanisms of ischemic stroke and explore novel therapeutic approaches. Specifically, we are studying the roles of the CD40/CD40L system, CD147/EMMPRIN-Cyclophilin, and PI3K signaling in stroke pathology and stroke-induced immune dysfunction in rodent stroke models (filament MCAO, embolic MCAO), with our focus on the brain-spleen-brain injury cycling.
Inflammation and vascular diseases: Carotid artery stenosis is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke, which
Inflammation and immunity in traumatic brain injury (TBI): TBI is the leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults. We investigate the mechanisms of neuron death induced by traumatic brain injury and explore novel therapeutic approaches. Specifically, we are studying the roles of several pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators in TBI.
Therapies for Brain Tumors
Study the mechanism by which the differential responses in DNA damage and repair take place and the role of vascular cell adhesion molecules in brain tumors and neuronal injury.
