Stimulating questions and discussion with Clark Chen

Wafik S. El-Deiry shared on LinkedIn:

“Outstanding meeting yesterday afternoon of the CNS Cancer Translational Research Disease Group with a fantastic presentation by our colleague Clark Chen, MD, PhD, Professor at Brown University Neurosurgery.

Dr. Chen spoke about “Neuro-modulation as a Glioblastoma Therapeutic Platform” including elegant genetic screens while at Harvard Medicine, key cellular pathways, dopamine receptors, EGFR, and biophysical approaches. He published a great paper in Oncotarget a few years ago.

The discussions and questions were quite stimulating.”
