UNM Scientist Targets Hidden Brain Cancer Cells to Stop Recurrence

UNM scientist Sara Piccirillo is uncovering how hidden glioblastoma cells survive after treatment and trigger deadly recurrences. Her research focuses on the sub‑ventricular zone, where immune cells fuel tumor growth. By identifying genetic differences in these cells, Piccirillo aims to develop personalized therapies that stop regrowth and improve survival rates.
