This researcher studies neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), a genetic condition that causes tumors such as schwannomas and meningiomas to grow on nerves, particularly around hearing and balance nerves. The work focuses on understanding the molecular biology of these tumors, especially the loss of a tumor-suppressor protein called merlin, and testing drug combinations (such as c-Met, Src, and MEK inhibitors) that might slow or stop tumor growth. Some publications also touch on related areas like malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) and pediatric sarcoma treatment.
