Biography: 

Dr. Nada Jabado is a Professor of Pediatrics and Human Genetics at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ and a staff physician in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the Montreal Children’s Hospital.

She began her career as an independent investigator in 2003 at the RI-MUHC, pioneering a research program in pediatric brain tumors, which is now unparalleled. Dr. Jabado's group was among the first to identify a histone mutation in human disease which has revolutionized this field. The epigenome was a previously unsuspected hallmark of oncogenesis and this discovery linked development and what we now know are epigenetic-driven cancers.

Dr. Jabado has over 250 peer-reviewed publications to her credit in such prominent journals as Nature Genetics, Nature, Science and Cancer Cell.  She is invited as keynote speaker to International symposia and top ranked universities and has been awarded funding from CIHR, Genome Canada, NIH, as well as a Large-Scale Genomics grant from Genome Canada. In 2021, Dr. Jabado was awarded the Canadian Cancer Society's Robert L. Noble Prize, given for outstanding achievements in basic biomedical cancer research.
