Biography:Â
Waldemar Debinski, MD, PhD, pioneers the use of targets in malignant brain tumor cells that are not present in normal brain to destroy them effectively and safely. With a broad range of experience in both basic science and preclinical models, he develops novel approaches to drug development and delivery and partners with industry for both therapeutic licensing and testing purposes.
