The new Center for Outcomes Research in Surgery provides a patient-centered approach to improving outcomes in children with surgical conditions.
Work in the Resnick and Storm Lab focuses on the cell signaling mechanisms of oncogenesis and tumor progression in brain tumors. The lab studies signaling cascades and alterations to elucidate the molecular and genetic underpinnings in order to develop targeted therapies. As co-directors of the Center for Data Driven Discovery in Biomedicine, Drs. Resnick and Storm lead a multidisciplinary team to build and support a scalable, patient-focused healthcare and educational discovery ecosystem.
