Dr. Agar is developing a rapid, accurate, and high-throughput method of characterizing meningiomas at the molecular level at the time of surgery. The method, called Mass Spectrometry Imaging, will provide us information on thousands of proteins from intact meningioma tissue in minutes, and has the potential to revolutionize the care of patients with meningioma.
