Welcome

John S. Kuo MD PhD (Principal Investigator) leads the Brain Tumor / Neuroengineering Research Group which focuses on developing novel therapies for primary and metastatic brain tumors. Currently, we are pursuing research to improve outcomes for patients with glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive and malignant brain cancer associated with less than 2 years survival after diagnosis. We isolate and study therapeutically resistant GBM cancer stem cells (GSC) hypothesized to drive cancer growth and recurrence after current therapies. We develop and use many techniques to understand and study the molecular biology of GSC and elucidate clinically relevant biomarkers by comparison studies on normal brain cells and brain stem cells. We also use animal tumor models and clinically annotated tumor tissue microarrays to test and validate new cancer targeting agents and experimental therapeutics. From our studies, we aim to develop CSC-targeted therapies to synergize and enhance current brain tumor treatments, ultimately improving outcomes for cancer patients. We are also pursuing new projects to advance the treatment of cancers that metastasize to the brain, using immunotherapy and new cancer targeting strategies.
