Focus of research
David Noske is a neurosurgeon and professor of neurosurgery. He is the founder and head of the Neuro-oncology Research Group (NRG) at the Amsterdam UMC.
Focus of Research
- Discriminating pseudo progression vs tumor progression, using Blood Platelets: developing innovative, non-invasive diagnostics through the analysis of tumour-educated blood platelets, to enable detection and discrimination of pseudo vs glioblastoma progression
- Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms in Cancer: understanding the mechanistic basis of tRNA genes regulation in normal and cancer cells and evaluating whether glioblastoma cells use tRNA expression modulation to support their growth.
- Convection Enhanced Delivery: This is an innovative approach for local drug delivery in the brain while circumventing the Blood Brain Barrier and avoiding systemic toxicity
