Our Mission

Our current research focuses on deciphering the biological and epigenetic mechanisms in pediatric cancer neuroblastoma. Our main research interest is to develop effective targeted therapeutic approaches for neuroblastoma and for other cancers. Our team has recently identified the role of cytokine G-CSF in enhancing tumorigenicity, metastasis, and relapse in neuroblastoma. We hope our research leads to a major clinical trial for accessing the safety of G-CSF use in neuroblastoma patients. Currently, we are developing effective therapeutic approaches to target cancer stem cells by identifying molecular and epigenetic factors responsible for maintaining these cells.
