The neuro-oncology laboratory at Northwestern University is dedicated to understanding the basic mechanisms of brain cancer initiation, growth, and spread, with a focus on developing translational therapies and conducting clinical trials. Our mission consists of:
Advancing the Science of Neuro-Oncology: We are a group of physicians, scientists, technicians, and students who aim to make a difference in the life of every brain cancer patient. To do so, we strive to uncover key pathways in the pathogenesis of brain tumors and design rational therapies based on hypothesis-driven, cutting-edge research.
Promoting Excellence in Our Daily Work: Our goal is to disover new therapies within a research environment that fosters a dynamic, exciting, and challenging environment. We aim to excel each day in everything that we do and to serve as an example of a translational laboratory focused on outstanding and high quality research.
Supporting the Development of Young Scientists: We recognize that an important part of our mission is to foster and encourage the development of young scientists. Our ability to inspire others provides a legacy for our work and makes a lasting impact on the individuals who will hopefully one day surpass our skills and abilities.
Enhancing Professional Development: We promote an open and people-oriented scientific environment. We encourage questions and respect the rights of our colleagues to challenge our vision. We strive to create an environment in which individuality and diversity represent our best assets. We participate in continuing education and professional development as we recognize that we are all students at heart.
Ethical Conduct of Research: We value and treasure the scientific process and acknowledge that it fully depends on the highest standards of ethical and moral conduct. We embrace honesty, constructive criticism, peer-review, and full disclosure of our work as we hope to serve as an example to our colleagues.
