Dr. Breunig received his Ph.D. from Yale University. Currently, he investigates the transcriptional regulation of neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the brain, specifically exploring the pathways governing the transformation of NPCs into brain tumor progenitors. Using a next generation brain tumor models, his lab introduces patient-specific mutations to create “personalized” tumors in immunocompetent animal models. Dr. Breunig is supported by funding from the American Cancer Society, CIRM, and NCI.
