Research Focus
Pedron Haba has worked on establishing in vitro platforms for evaluating microenvironmental pressures impacting brain tumor growth and evolution. These efforts concentrate on the development of 3D hydrogel platforms as well as microfluidic forming technologies to create ex vivo platforms that better replicate the tumor microenvironment for rapid clinical assessment of the multiple potential therapeutic strategies on a patient-specific basis.
