I specialise in the study of difficult-to-treat malignancies with unmet clinical needs. My research focuses on four key areas: a) the development of advanced preclinical models of glioblastoma (GBM) and brain tumour related epilepsy; b) interrogation of tumour microenvironment contexts of vulnerability; c) investigation of mechanisms of response to immunotherapy; and d) the use of CT and MR radiomics for the interrogation of disease progression and therapeutic response both pre-clinically and clinically.
