Viviane Tabar

Viviane Tabar is an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Weill Cornell Medicine, specializing in clinical neurosurgery with expertise in managing complex brain tumors including gliomas, meningiomas, and skull base tumors. She maintains strong affiliations with the Neuroscience program and focuses on translational neuro-oncology research.

Her research centers on human stem cell applications for brain regeneration and brain tumor modeling, conducted through the VIVO Lab. This work bridges neurosurgical practice with stem cell biology to develop innovative therapeutic strategies for neural repair and cancer treatment. The laboratory investigates how stem cells can serve dual purposes: replacing damaged neural tissue and creating accurate tumor models for drug testing.

Dr. Tabar's scientific approach integrates clinical neurosurgery with regenerative medicine, emphasizing the development of stem cell-based interventions for brain malignancies. Her research has significant implications for advancing surgical techniques and targeted therapies in neuro-oncology, particularly through the mechanistic study of tumor-stem cell interactions.
