SOLUTIONS with/in/sight: Pushing Boundaries, Breaking Barriers in Brain Cancer

Members of the Koch Institute’s Hammond lab, Yaffe lab, and Clinical Investigator Program are combining nanotechnology and novel drug combinations to treat glioblastoma. Discover how the team’s Trojan horse approach sneaks across the blood brain barrier and packs a one-two punch that hits cancer cells while their defenses are down, and explore perspectives on the implications of this new strategy for improving patient care. This program presents a powerful picture of how diverse perspectives can reshape the way we think about and overcome biomedical challenges.
