Prof. Rami I. Aqeilan is a Professor of Immunology & Cancer Research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases including cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders, and genomic instability. Over the past two decades, his laboratory has pioneered studies elucidating the role of WWOX in brain development and neurological disease, leading to the development of novel gene therapy approaches for WWOX-related disorders. His work integrates basic biology, disease modeling using patient-derived stem cells and brain organoids, and translational therapeutic development.
