📢 Big news in brain cancer research!

Dr. Nino Chiocca’s lab (HCNL) has published groundbreaking findings in Science Translational Medicine, and their work is featured on the cover of the journal! 🧠🧬
 
This multi-institutional study highlights how serial tumor sampling analyzing repeated biopsies over time can uncover treatment responses in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) that standard imaging can miss.
 
Using advanced multi-omic analysis and AI-powered tools, the team revealed how immunotherapy (CAN-3110) may activate the immune system and reshape the tumor microenvironment, even when MRI scans show no obvious improvement.
 
This research represents a major step forward in understanding and treating GBM and calls for a shift in how clinical trials monitor tumor response.
 
👏 Congratulations to Dr. Nino Chiocca, Dr. Alex Ling, and the entire research team for this incredible achievement!
