Research Interest
Neural stem cell therapies have been studied in various neurological pathologies as alternative option. Several pre-clinical studies have shown NSC to be safe and effective leading to an increasing number of clinical trials. However, since fetal NSCs have ethical problems, we developed a novel method to isolate NSCs from surgical brain samples.
Current studies focus on treatment of brain metastatic cancer and neurological disorders by using adult human NSC and development of genetically modified stem cells to maximize the therapeutic effect.
