The company is excited to announce the recent appointments of two leading experts, Prof Nada Jabado and Prof Burkhard Becher, who will bring their remarkable knowledge and proficiency in the fields of paediatric neuro-oncology and immunotherapy, respectively.
Introducing Prof Nada Jabado
Prof Nada Jabado, a distinguished Professor of Paediatrics at McGill University and paediatric haematologist-oncologist at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, has had an inspiring career. Her innovative work in identifying histone mutations as critical drivers of paediatric gliomas has not only changed the landscape of cancer research but has also contributed to more targeted treatment pathways for young patients facing severe diagnoses. With numerous accolades, including her status as an Officer of the Order of Canada and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, Prof Jabado’s career reflects a dedication to advancing medical science.
Academic and Professional Accomplishments
With a PhD in Immunology from the Marie Curie Institute and postdoctoral fellowship experience in Biochemistry at McGill University, Nada's early career achievements set a strong foundation for her future breakthroughs in oncological research. Her unique perspective on gene regulation and tumor biology will complement Trogenix’s existing team of experts.
Welcoming Prof Burkhard Becher
Joining Prof Jabado is Prof Burkhard Becher, who serves as the Professor and Chair of the Institute of Experimental Immunology at the University of Zurich. An expert in the field of immunotherapy, Burkhard has authored over 270 research publications that delve into cytokine-mediated communication networks, which are pivotal to understanding immune responses in both inflammation and cancer. His remarkable insights will undoubtedly drive Trogenix's initiatives in developing effective cancer therapies.
His Research and Impact
Prof Becher's transformative work involving GM-CSF, IL-12, and IL-23 has garnered significant recognition, making him a Highly Cited Researcher annually since 2018. His contributions have laid the groundwork for new therapeutic approaches that bridge neuroimmunology with oncology, further enhancing Trogenix’s innovative treatment strategies.
