The research work in my laboratory focuses on identifying novel immunotherapeutic targets for the treatment of brain tumors, specifically glioblastoma (GBM). My previous work includes the development of the dual-specific immunotoxin (IT) D2C7-IT, which is currently in Phase I clinical trials in recurrent GBM (rGBM) patients. My current research seeks to identify novel strategies to enhance the efficacy of D2C7-IT and other GBM-targeted cytotoxic therapies. In conjunction with this, my research includes the investigation of immune-related biomarkers to predict the clinical outcome of D2C7-IT therapy in patients with GBM.
