      abstract = {Malignant brain tumors remain incurable and improving  outcomes will require personalized treatment strategies. In  personalized medicine, therapeutics are tailored to each  tumor. To apply personalized medicine to brain tumors, a  more thorough understanding of therapeutically actionable  tumor features in individuals and patient cohorts is  needed. Actionable tumor features include genetic  mutations, aberrantly expressed proteins, and tumorigenic  microenvironment elements. In brain tumors, applying  personalized treatment strategies is complicated by  multi-layered heterogeneity, biological complexity, and  difficult drug delivery. In this dissertation I  investigated factors that currently hinder the use of  personalized medicine for malignant brain tumors.},
