My name is Ola Hassan, I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Pathobiology graduate program at Brown University. I have finished a Pharmaceutical sciences degree and a master's degree in Microbiology and Immunology from the Pharmacy School of Cairo University in Egypt. I have started my Ph.D. in 2019 at the laboratory of cancer epigenetics and plasticity lab at Brown University/Rhode Island hospital. My thesis project is focused on the role of histone deacetylase-7 (HDAC-7) in regulating the stemness in glioblastoma, unraveling the mechanistic regulation HDACs impart inside the glioblastoma stem cell nucleus and using this understanding to approach a novel epigenetic based-therapy.
