Fernando M. Núñez

Fernando M. Núñez's research focuses on gene therapy approaches for brain tumors, particularly high-grade gliomas including diffuse hemispheric glioma and brainstem glioma. Recent work centers on combining immune-stimulatory gene therapies (using thymidine kinase and Flt3L) with insights into tumor-specific epigenetic mutations (such as H3.3-G34R) to improve treatment effectiveness in mouse models. This research sits at the intersection of cancer biology, immunology, and gene therapy, aiming to develop better treatments for difficult-to-treat brain cancers.

Publication output was low and inconsistent from 2017-2022, followed by a sharp spike in 2023 (largely driven by a single multi-part study with many supplementary components), suggesting activity may be uneven rather than steadily growing.
