Vidyalakshmi Chandramohan
Associate Professor in NeurosurgeryOverview
The research work in my laboratory focuses on identifying novel immunotherapeutic targets for the treatment of brain tumors, specifically glioblastoma (GBM). My previous work includes the development of the dual-specific immunotoxin (IT) D2C7-IT, which is currently in Phase I clinical trials in recurrent GBM (rGBM) patients. My current research seeks to identify novel strategies to enhance the efficacy of D2C7-IT and other GBM-targeted cytotoxic therapies. In conjunction with this, my research includes the investigation of immune-related biomarkers to predict the clinical outcome of D2C7-IT therapy in patients with GBM.
