Dr. Rood runs an active NIH-funded molecular biology lab in the Center for Cancer and Immunology Research of the Children’s Research Institute. His lab is working to elucidate the mechanisms whereby the loss of the tumor suppressor gene HIC1 leads to the genesis of brain tumors. He is also investigating the proteome of cerebrospinal fluid in order to discover a protein marker for the presence of pediatric brain tumors. He is the chairman of a Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium trial designed to achieve this goal with patient samples from across the country.
