Scientific Interests
Dr. Leia NghiemPhu's research interest focuses on finding individualized molecular therapy for patients with malignant brain cancer. Her main goal lies in designing molecularly driven clinical trials that can provide tissues to understand mechanisms of response and resistance to molecular therapies for brain cancer. Her works to date mainly concentrate on aberrant pathways in glioblastoma and anti-angiogenic treatments.
