This researcher studies neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow on nerves, using mouse models to understand how these tumors form and progress. The work explores the biology behind tumor growth, including how the neurofibromin protein and immune cells contribute to disease, and tests potential treatments such as recombinant proteins to slow tumor growth.
