My name is Ketty Kessler, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working with Professor Chris Jones at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, United Kingdom, in the department of Molecular Pathology.
My research focuses on unravelling the heterogeneity inter- and intra- tumoral in paediatric high gliomas. In particular I am focused on studying a novel epigenetics dysregulation discovered in patient derived cell line and its implication on tumour development. By understanding the mechanisms governing the tumour aggressiveness we hope to find novel therapeutics targets that would improve patient’s survival.
Prior to joining Pr Chris Jones’ team in 2017, I graduated my PhD from University of Paris (Sorbonne Paris Cite University) in 2014 and then I joined University College London as a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Pr Paolo Salomoni.
