Research

The Diaz Lab is an interdisciplinary team of molecular and computational biologists. Our goal is to leverage single-cell 'omics of tumor samples to better understand and characterize brain tumors, for the design of improved therapeutics. We apply molecular and computational approaches to translational and basic science studies.
