Research Overview
Data & Insights
Has run more than one trial at 9 of 9 partner sites.
Specializations
Neuroimmunology and Demyelinating Disease
Research activity in multiple sclerosis, relapsing forms of MS, progressive multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, myasthenia gravis, and systemic autoimmune disorders reflects a strong therapeutic focus on immune-mediated neurological disease.
- Multiple sclerosis
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
- Generalized myasthenia gravis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
The clinical interest also extends to autoimmune vasculitis, antiphospholipid antibodies, and other inflammatory conditions affecting the nervous system.
Neuro-oncology and Pediatric Brain Tumors
Clinical trial involvement includes glioblastoma, glioma, diffuse midline glioma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and brain tumor care, with a clear emphasis on difficult-to-treat central nervous system malignancies.
- Glioblastoma
- Diffuse midline glioma
- Medulloblastoma
- Recurrent meningioma
Work in this area also covers pediatric low-grade glioma, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors, and other rare CNS cancers requiring specialized neurological expertise.
Hematologic Malignancies and Cellular Therapy
Investigational activity spans acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and mantle cell lymphoma, indicating broad engagement in blood cancer therapeutics.
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
- Acute myeloid leukemia
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
Additional interest is seen in CAR T-cell therapy, gene-modified T cells, and other advanced immunotherapy approaches for relapsed or refractory disease.
Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Medicine
Research involvement includes myocardial infarction, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, showing a strong therapeutic interest in acute and chronic cardiovascular care.
- Myocardial infarction
- Cardiac arrest
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension
- Stroke
The portfolio also includes ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, and carotid artery disease, linking vascular prevention with neurological outcomes.
Rare Neuromuscular, Genetic, and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Clinical interests extend to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, myotonic dystrophy, Friedreich’s ataxia, Huntington’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease, covering a wide spectrum of inherited and degenerative neurological conditions.
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Spinal muscular atrophy
- Friedreich’s ataxia
- Alzheimer’s disease
Further activity includes Fabry disease, mitochondrial disease, and optic neuropathy, supporting therapeutic development in rare neurological and multisystem disorders.
