Our long-term vision is to understand how the tumor microenvironment facilitates tumor growth, dissemination, and drug resistance, along with immune suppression and neurological dysfunction.

Tumor systems: Out focus is on central nervous system (CNS)-metastatic melanoma (brain and leptomeningeal metastases) and leptomeningeal disease across all tumor types. 

Collaborations: All of our projects are very multidisciplinary – bridging the clinic, bioinformatics, mathematical modeling, drug discovery and basic science.

Our mission is to cure leptomeningeal disease.
