The Brain and Spinal Tumor Program at the Kimmel Cancer Center is a member of the Adult Brain Tumor Consortium (ABTC), a group of 16 medical centers dedicated to improving treatments for adults with malignant brain tumors by
initiating early phase clinical trials and collaborations with researchers and other clinical trials groups.
Our group has 3 major goals: Develop novel therapeutic approaches based on centrosomal clustering To further develop our first prototype inhibitors of centrosomal clustering preclinically and to establish a robust and specific high throughput small molecule screen Discover key events in myeloma pathogenesis To investigate the pivotal transition from the pre-malignant, asymptomatic to malignant, symptomatic stages of plasma cell dyscrasias in order to understand the pathophysiology and thereby identify novel targets Translate small molecule therapeutics from bench to clinical trials To evaluate novel agents in the preclinical setting and to
initiate early phase clinical trials in hematologic malignancies with focus on multiple myeloma
