Center for Spine Tumor and Chordoma Research

Overview

At the Center for Spine Tumor and Chordoma Research, our mission is to study the molecular mechanisms that drive oncogenesis, recurrence and metastasis in spine tumors, focusing on chordoma. Our objective is to understand disease origins and progression while we identify new regulators that can be used to find novel therapies and prognostic tools.
