Research summary
AI-generated

Rachid Drissi studies pediatric brain tumors, particularly high-grade glioma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (a hard-to-treat childhood brainstem tumor), focusing on telomeres (protective structures at the ends of chromosomes) and the enzyme telomerase, DNA repair, and immune-based treatment strategies. Recent work combines laboratory studies of tumor biology (such as the protein BMI-1 and immune cell recruitment) with clinical trial efforts testing targeted drugs, immunotherapy, and telomere-targeting therapies in children. Note that one listed publication on financial risk modeling (Lévy-Flow Models) appears unrelated to this PI's core research area and may reflect a data or author-matching error.
