Research Focus
Research is one of the core pillars of Project VS360°, a comprehensive program dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by vestibular schwannoma and NF2-related schwannomatosis through integrated clinical care, scientific research, survivorship, education, and community engagement.
At the Dinh Laboratory, we lead the research mission of Project VS360° by connecting the questions that arise in the clinic with the discoveries made in the laboratory. Every patient encounter, every tissue donation, and every collaboration advances our understanding of these complex diseases and brings us one step closer to more effective treatments.
Our laboratory brings together clinicians, scientists, trainees, and collaborators from multiple disciplines to investigate disease biology, uncover therapeutic opportunities, and translate knowledge into better care. Through this collaborative approach, we strive to bridge basic science and clinical medicine while cultivating the next generation of surgeon-scientists.
Our vision is a future where vestibular schwannoma and NF2-related schwannomatosis are no longer defined by uncertainty, hearing loss, or limited treatment options, but by precision medicine, innovative therapies, preserved function, and hope.
Our mission is to generate the knowledge, resources, and partnerships needed to transform patient care through rigorous science, multidisciplinary collaboration, and exceptional education, advancing new therapeutic strategies while preparing future surgeon-scientists to continue this work for generations to come.
