Dr. Nina F. Schor's research focuses on designing and testing in preclinical models targeted therapy for neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumor of childhood and a derivative of the neural crest. Therapeutic approaches that have been pioneered through her research which include:

(1) adjunctive use of 6-hydroxydopamine (tumor cell ablative agent) with TEMPOL (selective normal cell chemoprotectant);

(2) adjunctive use of neocarzinostatin (non-selective chemotherapeutic prodrug) with 6-mercaptodopamine (neural crest-selective activator of neocarzinostatin);

(3) caspase 3-dependent potentiation of apoptosis induced by enediyne chemotherapeutic agents in Bcl-2-overexpressing tumors; and

(4) potentiation of apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic agents with agonists and antagonists at specific neurotrophin receptors.

In the process of this work, distinct lines of inquiry and drug and mechanism discovery have evolved.
