Hossam Shawki (ホッサム シャウキ)
Visiting Scientist, Nagoya City University Division of Disease Modelling
| Research Topics | Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of normal development and pediatric tumorigenesis |
|---|---|
| Detail | Many pediatric brain tumors are thought to arise from a breakdown in the early program of neurogenesis. I aim to clarify how dysregulation of cerebellar neural progenitor cells leads to the development of medulloblastoma, and how epigenetic changes support tumor growth and progression, using |
