Developed high-throughput screening and tumor microenvironment assays to study drug resistance in glioblastoma stem cells. This involved evaluating drugs used in other types of cancer for their efficacy against brain tumors, particularly due to the challenges posed by the blood-brain barrier. Employed high-throughput screening techniques to detect cytotoxic effects of these drugs on brain tumor stem cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, characterized the brain tumor microenvironment through immunofluorescence to assess immune infiltration, providing valuable insights into the tumor's response to therapeutic targets. While software development and Microsoft 365 were not directly relevant to this role, the analytical skills gained f
