Nadia Nasreddin
Nadia is a DPhil student, working mainly on colitis and colitis-associated colorectal cancer, looking into the link between inflammation and tumourigenesis.
Individuals suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at a significantly increased risk of developing colon cancer. Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CA-CRC) is both phenotypically and molecularly different from sporadic colorectal cancer.
In consideration of this, her work focuses on:
- Understanding the stem cell dynamics of colitis-associated lesions
- Undertaking an integrated omics analysis of colitis-associated progressor lesions and sporadic lesions, to determine whether molecular characterization of colitis affected bowel tissue can aid determine further cancer risk.
- Elucidating the carcinogenic pathway of colitis-associated colorectal cancer, particularly looking into the WNT signalling pathway
