Research

Faculty in the Department of Neurosurgery have expertise in various subspecialties  and perform research, multiple clinical trials and are the leaders for simple and complex surgeries not available at other centers in Arkansas.

Rodriguez Lab

Dr. Rodriguez’s research focuses on the development of novel diagnostics and treatment strategies for brain tumors. As a surgeon-scientist, she established a brain tumor biobank for precision medicine at UAMS. This allows her to study tumor samples directly from surgically resected specimens and identify drugs specific to a patient’s tumor. She investigates glioblastoma and metastatic brain tumors.
