I am a Senior Research Associate in Dr. Derek Duckett’s laboratory (The Scripps Research Institute, Florida). My studies focus mainly on the biology of cancer and drug discovery fields. As part of a team and using a multidisciplinary approach we are developing novel small molecule inhibitors to block the growth of Glioma Stem Cells, a major contributor to chemotherapy resistance and responsible for relapse disease in Glioblastoma. In collaboration with the Lead Identification Division at Scripps Florida we have generated a 3D-high throughput method to identify novel inhibitors of Glioma Stem Cell growth. This technique together with a battery of other research methods will be used to identify and validate compounds which could be use alone or in combination to maximize their killing effect in Glioblastoma.
