Clinical Interests:
General adult neurosurgery with special interests in primary and secondary brain tumors, skull base tumors, posterior fossa tumors, pituitary tumors; cerebrovascular disease including aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations

Research Interests:
Cory directs the Molecular Neuro-Oncology Laboratory, affiliated with the The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke, which aims to identify and explore critical genes in high grade brain tumorigenesis. State-of-the-art genome-wide screening techniques are used to identify novel genes. Associated signaling pathways are then explored in a myriad of tumor in vitro and in vivo models to better characterize key pathways and identify pharmacogenomic targets.
