In September of 2006, she moved to Spain to complete her master's and Ph.D. Farias graduated with a bachelor's degree in biology from the State University of Paraíba in her hometown in Brazil. Her research interests include the development of patient-derived xenograft models for the study of metastasis to the spine and brain, the identification of potential therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of spine and brain metastasis, and the development of animal models of nerve injury and regeneration using mesenchymal stem cells. She is interested in targeting the tumor sites using cell therapy in combination with chemotherapy and focal radiation and studying how tumors affect the motor and sensorial behavior in disease models. Sarabia Estrada's research focuses on developing experimental models of metastatic and uncommon tumors of the spine and brain.
One of her main goals is to lead an integrated research team that focuses on translational and preclinical research to facilitate bench-to-bedside contributions.ĭr. Sarabia Estrada assists in directing the Brain Tumor Stem Cell Research Laboratory, where she oversees and conducts preclinical studies that are leading to new treatments and methods of delivery for primary and metastatic tumors of the spine and brain.
