School of Neuroscience affiliated faculty  Rafael Davalos and his team, developed a new process that enables doctors to treat brain tumors once considered inoperable using irreversible electroporation. 

This new process is also suited to destroy brain tumors and can potentially prevent patients from suffering through chemotherapy. Irreversible electroporation has been successful in treating more than 6,000 patients suffering from liver, kidney, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.
