Overview of Dr. Ramakrishna

My clinical and research goals are to advance the field of brain tumor therapy. Malignant brain tumors are lethal tumors with few effective treatments. Despite decades of research, the efficacy of modern therapies remain limited. My goals are to use advances in nanoparticle and vaccine therapy technology to develop new treatments for patients afflicted with cancers of the brain and skull base.

Brain Metastases
Cancer Genomics and Therapeutics
