Research
Dr. Peter Pan's research interests include clinical treatments in neuro-oncology and mechanisms of treatment resistance. He is involved in ongoing research reviewing patterns of distant recurrence in adult gliomas, diagnostic imaging features of primary central nervous system lymphomas, and effects of upfront radiation on outcomes in atypical meningiomas. He is also involved in ongoing collaboration with colleagues at Cornell reviewing quality metrics for clinical trials, and with colleagues from biophysics and computational chemistry at UC Davis researching hot spots in protein-protein binding free energy of the programmed death ligand 1 (PD1-PDL1) immune checkpoint, a frequently-targeted axis in oncology.
