our mission

The Kumar Lab is dedicated to advancing the field of pediatric neurosurgery, with a primary focus on brain tumor research and cellular therapeutics. By investigating the complex interactions between tumor cells and the brain’s immune environment, the lab aims to unravel the mechanisms driving tumor growth and progression. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques such as flow cytometry, advanced microscopy, next generation sequencing, and stem cell biology, the team pioneers innovative microglia replacement protocols to deliver therapeutics against tumor progression. Committed to bridging the gap between research and clinical application, the Kumar Lab strives to translate groundbreaking discoveries into transformative treatments that enhance outcomes for patients with brain tumors.
