Current Brain Tumor Research

Basic Science Research

Dr. Abrahams is researching the use of hydrogel materials as a topical agent to be used after surgical resection to assist in destroying residual tumor cells, which can lead to a reoccurrence of the tumor. This project involves a biocompatible hydrogel that targets the tumor-brain interface and works on destroying the malignant tumor cells after the wound is closed. The hydrogel delivers a chemotherapy agent to do the work; the hydrogel keeps the chemotherapy in the proper location.

Translational Research

We are currently developing protocols for recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme. Please check periodically for updates within this program.
