From 1998 on he worked in the field of metamorphosis of malignant glioma cells after stereotactic implantation and dealt with ethical and moral issues in brain research as well as molecular biological classification systems of brain tumors . Since 2004 he has been working in the field of local chemotherapy for malignant gliomas.
