 Hello, my name is Dr. Lucinda McRobb and I'm a research fellow in the neurosurgery research group at Macquarie University. Our goal is to develop new targeted drug delivery approaches for the treatment of brain arterial venous malformations or AVMs. In our laboratory, we are establishing a model cell based system that mimics the genetic characteristics of these abnormal blood vessels. It is hoped through this research that these targeting agents in the future can be used for focus drug delivery and establishment of a new non-invasive treatment approach for patients with brain AVMs.
