This list of affiliated investigators can help you identify potential research mentors at the University of Pittsburgh. PSTP students can, and do, work with mentors not on this list, but the investigators featured below have expressed interest in hosting PSTP students in their laboratories.
Brain tumors, hydrocephalus, Chiari malformations, trigeminal neuralgia, and traumatic br
Neural mechanisms of visual and auditory perception.
The Brain Tumor Biology and Therapy Laboratory studies pediatric and adult high-grade gliomas (HGG)—focusing on brain tumor signing, glioma metabolism and using genomics to identify novel and effective therapies.
The study of the basic mechanisms of apoptosis, as mediated by the caspase apoptotic family in neurologic diseases
Our lab studies what human brain networks are doing using long-timescale recordings during real world behavior, as well as how our brains process social information during natural conversations.
Adult and pediatric epilepsy surgery; movement disorder surgery; neuro-oncology; general neurosurgery
Dr. Hadjipanayis and the Brain Tumor Nanotechnology Laboratory he directs focuses on translational research approaches for more effective treatment of malignant brain tumors that involve preclinical studies, imaging, rodent/larger animal brain tumor models, and actual human clinical trials.
Molecularly targeted therapeutics for childhood and adult brain tumors and identifying and counteracting mechanisms of glioma treatment resistance.
