Leading the way in finding brain tumor treatments, Dr. Cobbs has established one of only brain tumor stem cell tissue banks on the West Coast. Based on his findings, here at California Pacific, Duke University and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, brain tumors are currently being treated using antiviral therapies.
