What we study
The Moor Lab does neuro-oncology research. A recent student project used advanced MRI in newborn mice to study an RNA nanoparticle vaccine for brain tumors, tested across mice, dogs and patients; its papers include clinical reviews on brain tumors.

Multimodality Visualization of Brain Tumors Across Species
The lab studies a new RNA nanoparticle vaccine for hard‑to‑treat brain tumors by testing it in mice, dogs and human patients. The student used advanced MRI in newborn mice to see treatment effects and observed a new phenomenon called paraprogression; future work will aim to reduce this while keeping the therapy benefits.
