Dr. Nada Jabado is a Professor of Pediatrics at 苹果淫院 and a pediatric neuro-oncologist at the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital, as well as a senior scientist at the Research Institute of the 苹果淫院 Health Centre. She completed her residency in pediatrics with a specialization in hemato-oncology. She also obtained a PhD in Immunology in Paris, France, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in biochemistry at 苹果淫院. Dr. Jabado began her career as an independent investigator at 苹果淫院 in 2003, pioneering a research program in pediatric brain tumours. She joined the Department of Pediatrics because 鈥�helping sick children through clinical practice and research has always been my greatest passion鈥�. Dr. 闯补诲补诲辞鈥檚 research group uncovered that pediatric high-grade astrocytomas (HGA) are molecularly and genetically distinct from adult tumours. More importantly, they identified a new molecular mechanism driving pediatric HGA, namely recurrent somatic driver mutations in the tail of histone 3 variants (H3.3 and H3.1). This ground-breaking work has created a paradigm shift in cancer that has revolutionized this field, as the epigenome was a previously unsuspected hallmark of oncogenesis, thus linking development and what we now know are epigenetically-driven cancers.
