Biography
Mohammed A. Mansour has completed his PhD at the age of 28 years from Nagoya University graduate school of Medicine, Japan in the field of Biochemistry of cancer and cell signaling. He has been assigned the position of lecturer of Biochemistry and Cancer Biology in Tanta University faculty of Science, Egypt since October 2015. He has published up to 10 papers in highly reputed journals including oncotarget, FEBS J, Exp Cell Res and Tumor Biol. He is interested in understanding the molecular pathogenesis of human solid, hard -to-cure cancers. During his PhD project, he focused on the identification of alterations of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes in colon cancer, followed by elucidation of their detailed biological and biochemical functions. This detailed work resulted in 3 first author publications, and two co-author papers from collaborative studies. His research thus focuses on taking clinically relevant targets, understanding their molecular function, and determining how to modulate them in the laboratory and in in vivo models.
