Glioblastoma Imaging Lab
Pallavi Tiwari · Madison, Wisconsin
Research Focus
Dr. Pallavi Tiwari's lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison focuses on advancing non-invasive imaging techniques to better understand glioblastoma, a challenging brain cancer. The lab is developing innovative radiomic spatial maps to accurately identify the extent of viable tumors in MRI scans, helping clinicians differentiate between tumor infiltration and normal brain edema. This research aims to improve treatment planning and outcomes for patients with glioblastoma by reducing the need for invasive biopsies.
