Research summary

This researcher works on delivering therapeutic genes and drugs directly into the brain to treat neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor). Key methods include gene therapy using viral vectors (e.g., GDNF gene therapy for Parkinson's) and convection-enhanced delivery, a technique for infusing drugs or immunotoxins directly into brain tissue to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The work spans preclinical laboratory studies and translational/clinical research aimed at bringing these therapies toward patient use.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a notable spike in 2023 (likely reflecting a burst of related supplementary/data outputs from a single study) rather than a clear steady increase or decline.
