Daniel Landi, MD, is a pediatric neuro-oncologist focused on developing and implementing novel immune-based therapies to treat children with brain and spinal cord tumors.  After completing his pediatrics training at Duke University, Dan completed a pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship at Baylor/Texas Children’s in Houston and received additional clinical training in neuro-oncology as a faculty member.  There, as a member of the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, Dan studied mechanisms for modulating the immune environment to improve the effect of T cell therapies for glioblastoma.  He translated these efforts in clinical trials for children with glioblastoma under the mentorship of Dr. Nabil Ahmed.
