Biography

As a graduate medical oncologist, having studied at Yerevan State Medical University and Harvard Medical School, I have always been driven to make a significant contribution to the fight against cancer. Throughout my career, I have encountered challenges when working with young cancer patients, which has motivated me to delve into basic research and undertake more impactful endeavors. Currently based in Hong Kong, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in the City University of Hong Kong Drug Discovery Lab, where my focus lies on developing novel anticancer treatments and unraveling the underlying mechanisms driving cancer progression. Additionally, I am proud to serve as the CEO of the Institute of Cancer and Crisis (www.cancerandcrisis.org). I am enthusiastic about fostering connections within the field and collaborating with like-minded individuals to work towards a brighter future collectively. My ultimate aspiration is to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice by translating impactful findings into clinical trials.
