Research Focus
Dr. Peter Laviolette's lab focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of gliomas, a type of brain tumor, by developing innovative imaging techniques. The research combines advanced mapping algorithms with MRI scans to better detect cancerous cells that are not easily visible. This work aims to refine treatment strategies and enhance patient outcomes through personalized therapy approaches and comprehensive tracking of tumor progression.
