Glad to share some of my PhD work on using molecular classification to predict outcomes following surgery and radiotherapy in meningiomas published in Nature Medicine. Grateful to gelareh-zadeh and Farshad Nassiri for helping guide this work and to our collaborators, reviewers,

Lastly, we were also able to utilize the RTOG-0539 clinical trial cases for biomarker discovery and build multiple molecular predictive models of response to RT that were able to predict PFS following RT in meningiomas better than WHO grade alone including being able to identify

Congratulations to the wonderful #YourComplexBrain #podcast! Keep up the great work with your fascinating, inspiring, and unmissable episodes 👏👏
