Personal profile

About

Rob Lober joined the faculty of Dayton Children’s Hospital and Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine with the goal of improving the lives of patients with central nervous system disorders.  In the midst of a busy clinical practice, he leads a team of experts in the Living Biobank at Dayton Children’s, dedicated to preserving tumor specimens so that they can be made freely available to researchers worldwide.  He is a scientific advisor to the Children’s Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium and is on the Board of Directors of the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation.
 
Dr. Lober has secured funds from local private donors and foundations in Dayton to support a translational research program bridging advanced brain tumor imaging with molecular features of tumor growth and metabolism.  He mentors Wright State University students at the undergraduate and graduate levels who are pursuing careers in biomedical research or health care.  His current focus is on molecular mechanisms of tumor growth and treatment resistance in diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas.
