They isolate glioma cancer stem cells (GCSCs) and immune cells from fresh tumor tissue and look for chemo- and radio-resistance mechanisms. Also, they research the mechanism of immune response in tumor microenvironment and look at tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and investigate specific signaling pathways along with GCSC in terms of immune system regulation. They also investigate the optimal radiation dosing schedule for brain tumors and combinational treatments in patients with glioma and brain metastasis treated with gamma knife radiosurgery, a type of radiation treatment. They are now doing 'liquid biopsy' to identify the role of cell free DNA, exosomes and micro-RNAs in glioma and brain metastasis patients for prognostic evaluation and assessing treatment response. Recently, they received the grant for evaluating genetic, proteomic and metabolomics properties in Turkish patients with brain tumors under 'Turkish Genomic Project'.
