Dey Lab

Dr. Dey is a neurosurgeon specializing in brain and spinal cord tumors. Dr Dey's lab is dedicated to discovering novel treatments for brain tumor patients.

Dr. Dey is a neurosurgeon at University of Wisconsin Madison, Department of Neurological Surgery, specializing in operations of brain and spinal cord tumors. We work on understanding the mechanisms to harvest the power of patients own immune system to attack their brain cancer cells. Dendritic cells and T cells are the two critical sub-set of immune cells that orchestrate anti-tumor immune response against brain tumor cells. We work on utilizing this natural response to design novel treatment strategies for patients with malignant brain tumor (glioblastoma).
