Research Focus
Dr. Nadejda Mincheva Tsankova's lab focuses on understanding and combating glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor known for its aggressive and invasive nature. They investigate the role of specific proteins in tumor migration and aim to develop new therapeutic strategies that could enhance treatment effectiveness for patients. The lab combines advanced techniques in genomics and spatial analysis to identify biomarkers that predict treatment response, which could lead to improved outcomes in glioblastoma patients.
