Research Interest
Research Interest: Cancer epigenetics, Brain tumors, mouse modeling. The Rahme laboratory studies cancer epigenetics and how epigenetic reprogramming can drive tumorigenesis and tumor progression. We specifically focus on a type of brain tumor called glioma, of which the majority are driven by epigenetic reprogramming. We use next-generation sequencing techniques to discover epigenetic lesions that we then functionally annotate using in vitro and mouse modeling.
