Biography
Mai Moaaz is an assistant professor of Immunology. She has a passion in the field of tumor immunology and an expertise in tumor tissue culture system and experimenting new modalities for cancer immunotherapy. Her tissue culture system provides the ex vivo tissue architecture that is necessary to maintain or reconstitute an environment closely resembling that of the tumor tissue to reflect the complex tissue architecture of an individual tumor. The majority of preclinical cancer research is based on established cell lines that frequently have undergone multiple changes influencing their biological behavior and therefore no longer reflect that of the primary tumor of origin. She has built this model after years of experience in research, evaluation, teaching and administration both in hospital and education institutions. She is conducting current studies on tumors as an approach to cancer immunotherapy.
