The Young Laboratory is establishing endovascular surgical neuro-oncology (ESNO) as a new subspecialty at the intersection of neurointerventional techniques and cancer therapeutics. By navigating microcatheters directly into the intracranial arteries and veins supplying brain tumors, our research aims to create less invasive and more precise platforms for treatment, diagnosis and surveillance of the disease.
